There seems to be one at the bottom of the page.

Very interesting.

I love singles. If Ducati decided to introduce a single again, I would sign up.
As it is I am waiting for the release of the Husky Strada, preferably in the Moab motif.

Thanks for sharing,

That seems pretty cool, but I wonder what the life span of that engine would be? I'm guessing it would be pretty good if you have someone like Ben Fox doing the work.
What about weight distribution of only having the horizontal cylinder(lower mass, I suppose)? Would it be better or worse to have the vertical cylinder?

I found this artical a blast to read and an interesting angle to building a Supermono. However I would like to see Ducati build one of these, hot rod a big single, nice fairings, Ohlins, Marchesini forged, carbon bits and then have a complete accessory package. Hopefully it will make about 75HP....even if they did an air cooled 120 HP L-twin with the swoopy Supermono bodywork, keep the price $10-13K. Ducati would sell them out in an hour. In the long run it would cost Ducati less in warranty work as it's a simple engine, they make almost all the parts for it now anyway....so why not. Maybe they haven't because they sold the Supermono rights to that guy in the UK...they could get around that though..
