Here it comes, yet another bike project. The question you might be asking… “Will he actually finish this one?” OF COURSE!!! Well, that intent is always there. One major difference in this project, is that the bike I’m starting with ACTUALLY RUNS!. And not just runs, but is perfectly road worthy. After buying the bike, I road it 100 miles home, over some of the best local twisty roads this area has to offer (to be honest, these are some pretty good roads by any standard!).

Here is what I’m starting off with. A 2004 Ducati 749 Superbike. She sure looks good, doesn’t she? Why I’d take a perfectly nice looking bike like this and turn it into a track sled might seem boggling to some (and perfectly sensible to others). Well, let me start off by saying that the bike was CHEAP! I mean, 1990’s 600 sport-bike cheap. A 1990 Honda CRB600 generally goes for more than I paid for this bike. Beside the fact the Ducati really is a track weapon, this one was also eminently affordable. 🙂

Now stay tuned as I work my way through this bike, get it ready to hit the track, and of course, shoot some video along the way! 😀
