New Supermono details: Testastretta

[Iconic944ss]

As reported by Derek on DuN forum:

"This months Motorcycle Sport and Leisure has a one page feature on the new Supermono. The bike is being built in Britain by Supermono expert Alistair Wager with Ducati's approval and using genuine Ducati parts. It has been updated with modern technology and uses a Testastretta head and barrel. The bad news is there will be a limited production run of around 10 bikes and it will cost £35,000. It will be a lot more exclusive than a Desmosedici though"
