Damn. That just hit my envy sensors real hard.

Interesting - was it competitive ?

The only thing on it that appears to be "Ducati" is the engine - is the frame even Ducati ?

A 15 y/o rides that bike. It's from the ProItalia up the street. Absolutely sick!!

Glendale kids these days ... I simply chose the wrong family at birth, didn't I ... :( Maybe if I ask dad real nicely, he'll oblige (never gonna happen).

On the upside, I understand that ProItalia is having a demo day on April 15th (es verdad ?), and their track day is the day after ours (Fontana, the 22nd).

On Saturday I made the extremely grave error of test riding an S4Rs and Husky 610 SM down here. I could just feel me and money going separate ways ;)

The sound that thing makes is sweet. Plus, seeing the clutch in there spinning arround is hypnotizing.

incidentally they say that while it only produces just north of 100hp fully tuned, since it weighs somewhere round 300lbs, it;s plenty fast on the track.

The bike wasn't really competeative at all, the track has a pretty long straight and More times then not he'd barrel out onto the straight and stay even with the I4's for a moment, maybe even get a few inches ahead, but then get BLASTED when the I4's hit their powerbands.

I was busy taking pictures in the last turn before the straight so I didn't really get to see his performance on the rest of the track.

Here are a few of it in turn 10 (final turn before straight)

Smokey, did you ever hear if ProItalia SB finished making that other NCR we saw, street legal?

Or is this that one? :confused:

This one is in NO WAY street legal.
