Here's my spin on this, FWIW: The Supermono was primarily a racing concept. For the street, the contemporary DB was a much better choice. The weight difference between the two is not that great (hell, my DB1 is just a tad over 320 and the DB2 and 4 only about 30 or so pounds lighter with the lighter carbon or ti exhaust and other tasty bits) and the 900SS engine capable of a whole lot more power with a whole let less fuss and more relaiblity than screwing around trying to make a Rotax single put out anywhere near the same horsepower.

So I'd chase down a DB2 or a DB4. I know there are at least 2 new 2000 models of the DB4ie still available for purchase.

Since I see that you live in Kenosha, and I leave just south of you in Pleasant Prairie, why not drop me a pm and then stop over and I'll give you a first hand look at the DBs and you see what you think. Dave
