I guess this is a good as it get to seeing what a Hyper might look like with a 1098/1198 motor stuffed into its frame.

The Bimota would be unique, but it looks like they finished the frame and swing arm with bits off an old crane! Too boxy; round it off a little.

Now, that Hyper! Is it feasible that it could look so tidy though? I mean, the Streetfighter has the massive radiator and hoses which ruin the look and make it look bulky IMO.

Well Krisfox from the french board kinda did it.
But instead of fitting a SF engine in a Hyper frame (I'm really not sure that's possible), he started from a 1098.
From his report, one of his biggest challenge was to make a new tank.




I think the question of a Hypermotard with a 1098 engine was asked again at the press test of the EVO SP, and Ducati answer was "it makes no sense to put that engine in this frame, that's not was the bike was created for"
