Have Ducati bought into Natty Boys Mini motos Ltd All the clues are there.

[Ian]

couple of things I notice on the description.........

Titanium frame: Will never happen, - Titanium is a flexible metal, - ok for bicycle frames but a big no-no on motorbike frames.

Magnesium Marchesini wheels: Strictly speaking not road legal, - they would never get TUV (or the like) approval.

Suspension: Again would never be "road legal".

To me this sounds all too much like a project called a "concept bike".

"Titanium frame: Will never happen, - Titanium is a flexible metal, - ok for bicycle frames but a big no-no on motorbike frames."
You're a bit late mate, Ducati have already done that, Dave Cook-our Chairman-was offered a TI frame that was made for Bostrom to use in AMA...................

Yeti, will it have the "advanced stabilisation system" fittted which will prevent inadvertant toppling over situations?

[yeti]

RH, I am assured it WILL have the ASS system. Have also been told the project designator is Ducati Z1 Mme"R"
