RAD 02 Wildcat by Radical Ducati

 

I was just thinking it is about time we featured another creation from the custom Ducatimasters Radical Ducati.

 

Lucky for me their latest had just been revealed at this years Mulafest, and was ready to be featured on Moto Rivista. Here it is suitably named Wildcat? Perhaps, that’s the question does this crazy custom match it’s name…read on to find out!

RAD 02 Wildcat started out with Radical Ducati’s Cromo Molibdeno frame and a Montjuich aluminum subframe, which was mated to a S2R single-sided swingarm with Extreme Tech rear shock. Wrapped in the Cromo Molibdeno frame is a Ducati Monster 1100 EVO engine that has been fitted with a RAD 02 two valves engine carbon fiber airbox. Pepo’s custom Ducati Monster WILDCAT also features a Wolfman exhaust system with BMW silencer.

At Radical Ducati the customization reaches to the extremes, these guys are not just buying parts off the shelf and putting the bike together. Most of Radical Ducati’s bikes come with in house produced parts. Now the use of carbon fiber in Radical’s bikes is pretty standard, Wildcat is no different and features various custom carbon fiber parts for one ultimate purpose and that is speed.

At the front Wildcat features RAD 02 Montjuich carbon fiber front fairing. Ducati 749 tin fork and a RAD 02 Montjuich aluminum front bracket. The wheels of this beast are BST carbón fiber, with Discacciati rotors, Discacciati radial calipers and Discacciati radial pumps. Other parts include an aluminum RAD 02 fuel tank and the RAD 02 CORSA EVO carbon fiber seat.

Without a doubt Radical Ducati builds some of the most amazing custom sports bikes of our time. Excuse me for a moment…I’m just imagining what it would be like to ride this beast Wildcat on the track!

Muchas Gracias to Pepo and Reyes for allowing us to feature Wildcat!!

Ford Mustang: Freedom for millions

This year celebrating its golden anniversary, the Ford Mustang differs from every other classic in its classless appeal. With this in mind, we recently sampled one of the more gentlemanly variants, a 1966 Mustang V8 coupé in an elegant anthracite hue…

Collective kings of cool

While the Porsche 911s and Mercedes-Benz Pagodas of the same era are more respected in their original specification, no such limits on modernisation and customisation apply to (most) classic Mustangs. As a result, few completely original examples of the first-generation ’Stang – produced between 1964 and 1973 – remain in existence.

Given that almost 1.3 million Mustangs were produced between 1964 and 1966 alone, it’s little wonder that many choose to individualise their machines. A popular route is to purchase a car from the more affordable end of the scale, and then to develop it into a dream car (often an ‘Eleanor’ recreation) – at significant expense, of course. The opposite end of the spectrum sees high-end collectors search for the rarest, Shelby-fettled variants. Last year, a unique 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake became the most expensive Mustang ever to be sold, fetching $1.3m at auction.

LES CHAMPIONS RÉUNIS AU SUNDAY RIDE CLASSIC 2014

Rencontres extraordinaires lors

 des Sunday Ride Classic sur le circuit Paul Ricard le week-end du 5 et 6 avril 2014 : Lors de cet évènement le Team Classic Racing Motorcycles a partagé le guidon des motos d’exception avec ses pilotes fétiches.

Giacomo Agostini, 15 fois champion du monde, roulait sur la MV Agusta 500 3 cylindres et la Yamaha 500 OW60 de 1982 du team.

Pour fêter les 30 ans du titre et les 20 ans de la victoire au Bol d’Or, Christian Sarron, champion du monde 250 en 1984, pilotera ses trois motos: Yamaha TZ 250 championne de 1984, FZR 750 R victorieuse du Bol d’Or 1994 et la 500 YZR de 1989.

Steve Baker, champion du monde 750 en 1977, s’est régalé au guidon de la Yamaha 500 YZR de 1986 du team.

Enfin, le responsable du team, Hubert Rigal, a roulé sur sa Yamaha TZ 750 de 1977 aux couleurs de la Principauté de Monaco.

Cerise sur le gâteau, Hubert fera quelques tours en compagnie de Giacomo et sa MV avec la toute nouvelle acquisition du Team, la Gilera 4 ex-Dereck Minter de 1957.

Superbe week-end ensoleillé, belles machines, magnifique circuit… pilotes et spectateurs étaient ravis.
