I was looking at the 62 specs (399cc air-cooled) and it could be a decent alternative to the R3 ~300cc META with a crash or salvage bike build. (I know im nuts, but I love vtwins). Anyone heard of or seen this in practice? A couple of my buddies are experienced ducati two valve tuners/builders and they reckon we could get to the upper 40s for hp in an SS build. Thoughts?
Even if we can get 50hp out of it? With carts and a shock it could be competitive with the ultra flat torque curve to offset the extra 30lbs.
speaking of racing ducati’s, i always wanted to race my old hypermotard. the most fun i’ve had on a bike on the track.
Just has to weigh as much as the wheel you're swapping, so no BSTs for you! (Hell, maybe not an R6 front wheel either...)
you have the 1100 yes? and nothing i ride would be competitive in any class, but that's not the bikes fault
Yep on the 1100. We just don't have anything where an air cooled 1100 would be competitive no matter how fast the rider is
