Finally put my bike on a dyno, check it out on utube. (Ducati 748/S4RS engine dyno tested).

Nice bike mate!

Any more details? Why does it "only" pull 110 rwhp with an S4RS engine? Is the dyno reading really low?

btw here´s your vid:

thanks, not sure about the dyno readings. From 9-10k it's 116 rwh, my point is that it makes over 110 between 8500 and 11200rpm. I'll get the graph scaned so I can post it, need to find my scanner first.

What a great sounding bike.

How come I've never seen you around?

By the way, Ben710 starts out really friendly-like then the next thing you know, you've spent a pile of dough on shiney stuff.

I ride mostly in the valley, trips to the interior, and longer trips if time permits. Send me a PM if your interested in seeing the bike. Parked due to rain right now.

I was just going to comment on buying some sexier wheels.

What do you think sir-spend-a-lot?

You make an excellent point. While the stock wheels appear to be in nice shape (from the picture, the bike looks mint), I'm thinking this 748/S4RS Hybrid could use a set of 5 spoke Marchesini - gold anodized of course. What do you think, Ben?

Action J: I spend a fair amount of time on the Sunshine Coast. Not many squids and the most northern part has the best 40km of road in BC. Makes for a nice 300 km day. For longer trips I use a more comfortable bike.

I´d think they should at least be made of magnesium.

Other than that, how about a 57mm 998RS full titanium exhaust? I hear they´re just expensive enough.

But then, I´d like to recommend a new set of different offset triples.

What do you think, BC?

I think we've got Action's head spinnning.

Naturally, the wheels would have to be magnesium. Or at the very least forged Alu. As far as the exhaust is concerned, that's a great idea. Of course, in order to take full advantage of the improved flow, he'd then be looking at porting the head and changing the cams, ignition, valves, etc.

What was the original name of this thread - Project Complete? More like "Project Kickoff".

Would be nice to see that here in the summer. I live on the Coast and I am the resident squid BC is talking about.

I like that . isnt the s4rs supposed to be a testastretta 998s engine. i dynoed one at 135 after mapping. It started at 120 . maybe the powers low as its not been mapped yet
