Pics and the engineering are fanstatic. Love the bike.

here is the one that ducati tested with foggy

That Foggy bike is weird - the pipes are all wrong as well!

Didn't someone on here have a version of that bike, not sure if it was MarioP or someone else

Yes, I shared a garage with him at Silverstone a few years back, somewhere at home I have some photos of the machine - believe it had started life as a test hack for the 999, he was running it with 996 bodywork but still with the 999 swingarm

Does anybody know how straightforward or not the fit would be around the swingarm mounting points?
Multistrada engine should be OK to fit with the 748/996 frame (as it uses pretty much the same swinger as standard)
I don't know though how a 749/999 swinger would fit in a 748/999 frame though.

I would assume that much complexity would be thrown in around the exhaust though. Most definitely a custom jobbie that would have to be.

Was also considering the Aprilia Mille swingarm. Does anybody know how straighforward the fit would be with one of those?? I would think that the whole suspension linkage would be affected so not too keen on the option anymore

Ducati Kaemna has done something similar based on the 1000ds engine, with a 999 swingarm and modified frame. Check them out:

Wow,that Kaemna bike is bloody gorgeous!:cool:

Yeah I knew about that one. You can pretty much buy it all as a kit and it is very much cheaper than the Pierobon or the NCR Milona.
Still I would like to find something a little more straightforward to get together and got quite a few parts already as left overs from other projects.

I know some guy that did fit a 900ss engine to a 916 chassis / swingarm. He actually rebuilt the 900ss engine into 748 cases. The rest was a straight built.
