Supermono project starting on Maui

I used my 1995 900SS CR for my Supermono project. All the parts I used are listed on the Ultimate Motorcycling Magazine web site at this adress:

Ducati 900SS CR Supermono | Custom | Motorcycle News

There are also photos there as well and within this Ducati forum.

Tell your friend good luck with the project!

very nice...but...

how did you do the engine?... it looks like a twin? that is not a Supermono
We are talking a single here... we don't care about pretty bling etc... Dave is a master builder and he makes a lot of bitza stuff... he is going to build a 500 cc Ducati single.
If anyone knows of a project like this please write to me it will be very very interesting build

Stop hatin corygt. Big ups to your mate who is making a mono supermono but I have total wood for samcombs supermono look-alike.

All the mods to my bike have been purely practical and not about bling, but I have seriously considered going the supermono replica route purely because they are so damned sexy.

Maybe after all my performance mods are finished I will consider going the same way myself, with my ie.

Looking forward to seeing if your mate gets his supermono project running well.

I might be really mistaken here but as far as I know/understand the mono bit refers to how many people can sit on the bike, not the number of cylinders = two in this SS forum and all but the Desmosedici.

If you duck (no pun intended) over to the superbike forum you will see there are monoposto and biposto posts. Mono refers to bikes with a seat for only one person and biposto refers to bikes with a seat that can carry two people.

Probably not the best reference, Richard, but certainly the quickest at hand:

Ducati Supermono - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'll withhold my typical complaint about Terblanche and his '99+ SSie design philosophy-- he can be forgiven much after coming up with the Supermono design.

Bryan

PS-- oh, and please refrain from imagining for one minute that I DON'T think my yeller '99 SSie w/ half-fairing is the prettiest bike in town... 'cause it is, and I lover 'er!!

Pretty sure the Mono means "one" as in one cylinder.

I'm assuming the donor bike is not an original, but what do I know your friend might have 100k floating around.

Check this link out, might give you some ideas.

NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I am not normally this blunt, but monoposto and biposto simply refers to how many bums the bike can seat.

Posto means seat with respect to Italian bikes, whatever the make/brand.

Mono = one and Bi = two Seats in this thread, nothing whatsoever to do with number of cylinders.

Looks like a mating between a early model SS and later model DS.

Try this:
Ducati SuperBike = twin (2 cylinders)
Ducati SuperMono = single (1 cylinder)

The OP was talking of creating a single cylinder bike. The SuperMono is uber cool! You should follow the link above and read up on it. Sounds like the project should be fantastic!

 

[SP3]

interesting. I didn't think there were any Ducati owners/fans (longish time ones anyway) that didn't know a Supermono is a single cylinder. Not busting anyone's balls, just find it interesting.

Sorry, Richard, to add fuel to the fire. You are correct about mono-posto and bi-posto, but not about Supermono. Read the Wikipedia article.

seriously... it is the ONLY bike called a supermono and it is a single. monoPOSTO means 1 seat.

now we are talking.
the supermono prototype,based on a 888 corse

henk!!!

 

[hawkgt]

One of the fellows on Ducati.net built a supermono using an 848 engine.I believe the name is Richard Felkins.I followed the build with a lot of interest.Anyways it worked very well and he has some videos when he tracked it,plus alot of photos during the build.Try googling supermono build.
