"For sure we've understood that to make the Ducati turn, you need a bigger effort than what Valentino was used to, physically too, and we didn't expect that. This bike is a lot more physical, the way to make it turn with the required precision is certainly the thing we must focus on at the moment."

"Exercise restraint and discipline, only responding to posts from legit customers and those with constructive positive intent, you will find that the handgrenades explode harmlessly. You have many satisfied customers who are happy to have the parts you've made. My suggestion to you is keep making good parts, keep getting more customers, take care of them and let them speak for you."
if I read correctly, they made the frame out of aluminium and it weighs about half of the stock trellis that's about 4 lbs

I think the stock frame weighs more than 8 lbs can't recall exactly but I remember being a lot more
you're right, and I couldn't be more wrong;
Quote:
the bike has been developed around two versions of Radical Ducati's own frame, in either aluminium or steel. The aluminium frame weighs just 4.1kg, while the steel version is 8.2kg.
so they make a steel AND aluminum frames and those weights are in KG not LBS

Cool bike for looking at but not for riding, that muffler will roast your thigh something good.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that "feature" of the bike....don't tell me that it would not be a serious problem. The blue one at least has DEI exhaust wrap on it although that, too, would be problematic.

Was just wondering if anyone has any information on that SPARK exhaust? I'm in the process of building a project bike, and looking for an exhaust like that.
Anyone know of a megaphone style can like that?
