I've been away from the fold for the last 4 weeks. As I've started a new job and my training has been out in Indonesia :). So apologies if this has already been posted............

Ducati V-One - Twin to Supercharged Single Conversion.
"a 2 valve air cooled twin, into a supercharged single, using the rear cylinder as the blower. The 498cc single has 15 HP more than the original twin putting out 102 HP at the rear wheel"

I wonder what is sounds like being a V-1. It look like most of the supercharger would be hidden under the tank anyway.

Massive thumper posted by 'Panther' seems somehow appropriate.

:cool:Nice post Rob, I don't think it has 102hp at the rear wheel though.

No but enough torque to pull the side of a house down, plus a kickstart that'll break your leg and throw you over the bars if it spits back.
