2000 Ducati 996 996s 996 s Special, 996 996s 996 s Special - over 9 thousand in upgrades. this is a stunning bike .all of these pieces are casoli moto, very well made, carbon fiber. complete carbon fiber body work,tank gaurds,fenders,v-plate, chaingaurd, swingarm protector,modified handlebars, heel gaurds,plate holder, under tail,airbox, intake runners,and termignoni exhaust. the carbon shows through on the upper fairing, top edges of the lower 998 style fairings,which i shaved at the bottoms to expose the engine, and through the lettering, which i adapted from the seventies pattern, with a modern slant. no ugly k mart looking motiff anymore. all those carbon bits have been sanded and cleared with sikkens urethane, arguably the most bulletproof topcoat on the planet. i also refinished the red paint and gold wheels with it, a couple of years ago and they still look wet. a shine, 6 feet gold anodised mesh in the fender and v-plate are also clearcoated . double bubble smoked wind screen. corbin leather seat. casoli moto anodised gold clutch cover and sprocket gaurd, red race slipper clutch, which helps remove the v twin wheel chatter on downshifts, as well as reducing flywheel-type rotating mass ,substantially, for much quicker revving. gold evoluzione clutch slave cylinder, relieving pull tension,and the need to replace the leaky factory seals. it breathes in through the open carbon intake runners,a no toil performance filter, is mapped with a custom chip as it hits the fast by ferracci teflon/ceramic coated, high compression pistons. serious acceleration will flatten your retinas, but it has enough midrange grunt to yank over a small barn. it is faster than my 998 valves were adjusted when we added the pistons, 1,500 miles ago. from the open intake honk, to the intoxicating rumble of the twin, and the torque, in spades,your tactile senses are spiked in an exponential curve. curves? that is where it really shines. just shy of 120 horsepower at the wheel, can only be complimented by its rock solid stability.a bike couldnt feel more and planted at speed. like the handle bars are bolted to the front dback draws a CONSTANT crowd WHEREVER it is parked and helps hit your target heart rate every time you ride yourself apart from the crowd.WAY apart. even from the other s models cost a few grand more than the standard bikes, with 9000.00 worth of goodies for free. it is truly one of a kind and would take almost twice the sale price to try and reproduce it. dont miss your time is now. we also have a bunch of rebuildables in stock from all four japanese lines, guzzi, ducati aprilia. we are not proud. we even sell harleys

2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale Unveiled

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

Here it is, the long-awaited and much-hyped 2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale, unveiled just this morning as preparations are underway to begin the EICMA show in Milan all this week. The new flagship for Ducati was uncovered to the public alongside the entire 2012 range in a stylish press conference at the Teatro Dal Verme in Milan, Italy.Ducati President Gabriele del Torchio took the honor of introducing the new machine, but not before announcing that, despite global economic troubles, “2011 has been the most successful year in the history of Ducati.” “Sales of approximately 42,000 motorcycles have generated revenues of €480m (approx. $660m), a 20% increase over the previous year and just reward for our highly innovative products.

Rainy BSB tests are nothing new

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true and it sometimes doesn’t matter how much pre season preparation has taken place.  Back in 2002 Sean Emmett won on the IFC Ducati at the opening Silverstone round after first riding it in unofficial practice the same weekend. Steve Hislop took the other win on Pauls Bird’s well sorted Ducati. More recently in 2009, Leon Camier took an untested new model R1 Yamaha to victory at the Brands Hatch opener after GSE took delivery of the bike just the week before. Sylvain Guintoli won the other race on a well developed, well tested Crescent Suzuki. You could argue if no one has had testing then it is a level playing field but you have to feel for riders moving up to the superbike class in the world’s toughest national series.  Tyco Suzuki’s PJ Jacobson is one such rider but having spent some time with him over the past few weeks he seems to be taking it all in his stride. It may be the confidence of youth or maybe the fact he has won in every other class he has entered in his short BSB career, but I suspect he fancies at least standing on the Superbike podium at Brands (He also does a bit of ice racing which is not dissimilar to the this year’s UK testing).  The testing ban was implemented with all the best cost cutting intentions and if it had been any other year in the past decade all would be well. The teams may be feeling frustrated but the fans should be excited. With so many unknowns, the 2013 BSB opener at Brands Hatch could be the best ever!
