Radical Ducati’s Interceptor

24

  You have probably heard that Radical Ducati is shutting down, and they’re moving on to other pursuits.  It’s been a fifteen year run, and we wish them the best.  Now, you may be wondering what’s a BMW doing coming from Radical Ducati?  After fifteen years, wouldn’t you want to try something different?  RD brought in Max Boxer to do the engine, while they applied their signature style to the rest of the bike.  The resulting collaboration resulted in a great airhead, with a look that makes it stand out from most BMWs.  The engine’s from an R100, the frame’s an R80 ST (modified), with an R100RS swingarm and S1000RR muffler.  Now throw in some Ducati forks, brakes, and other assorted bits, and you can see just how much custom there is in any Radical Ducati build.

RAD02 Cafe Racer – Imola By Radical Ducati

imola1

  Spain is home to one of the most original Ducati modifiers, called Radical Ducati, and the name fits.  This bike is a tribute to the 750 Imola Desmo, which helped Paul Smart and Bruno Spaggiari to victory in the 1972 Imola race.  The engine is from a 900 SS fitted with racing cams, and the bike is not stree legal, optimized for track use.  She has that badass stance that grabs your attention, though the exhaust could use a little work.  The mufflers are wonky and too distracting from the overall lines.  Still, all-in-all a wonderful motorcycle!
