Paul Smart race replica Ducati.

This came up om my FB feed this morning.

Its for sale in the US at $35k. 150kg, 130bhp, titianium and carbon all over. Quite stunning.

The guy who built it, also made himself a more road practical replica from the spares he had amassed.

I like the road version.

I don't think the fairing on the track bikes suits it.

A lot of work in those. Didn't know they raced them.

I like them both.....but that fairing does look awkward from a lot of angles.
The color is spot on.

And when you're able to cobble together an entire bike from leftover parts?? - You know there's a screw loose somewhere, and it's not on the bike.

The last of the big air cooled motors are supposed to be one of the best Ducati engines ever made. Loads of character and loads of grunt.

I think he's trying to make it look like the old Ducati 900. Something like a TL1000s style fairing would look better IMO
