Ducati 1968 Ducati 450 Desmo description
|
Extremely rare - fun and fast classic Ducati 450 Desmo wide case, set up for racing, but has lights, horn, battery etc. Bike had been actively campaigned by the previous owner. Can be run in various club race classes and should be very competitive. Excellent short track bike with big torque, solid power and stable handling. Purchased as a collectable, current owner has never raced the bike. Has been carefully stored, maintained and well looked after. Overall decent cosmetics and very good mechanical condition. Real 450 Desmo wide case engine. Numbers matching frame and engine. The engine is stock internally with factory carburettor, rated at 38 HP by Ducati. Modified oiling for improved oiling to the head .. a standard mod for racing, does not affect street rideabilty. Can be kickstarted, but like all big singles - much easier with a rear wheel spinner. Ducati racing Fiberglass tank and solo seat. Rearset pegs and clip on bars. Marzocchi Reservoir shocks. Original tach and speedo. New tires, good brakes. All the right stuff, period correct. A true cafe racer with classic style or a very fast and fun club racer for AFM etc. Sounds awesome, runs strong, handles sweet. Clean California title ... ready to go. |

Moto2 needs more radical bikes
Wed, 05 Sep 2012Makers of fine exhausts, Taylormade Racing have built a Moto2 racer that harks back to the innovative machines like the Elf Honda 500 and Britten V1000. Since Moto2's inception in 2010 the class has featured bikes with conventional chassis but the Taylormade bike, designed by Paul Taylor and John Keogh, has a radical design featuring a carbon-fibre monocoque frame, carbon-fibre swingarm, wishbone monoshock front suspension and an under-seat radiator. However, with such radical engineering the inherent problem is that it is a risk for teams to invest in such a project.
