Actually it is stable that fast. I stretched the frame 6 inches to help with speed wobble. I would prefer to be on a ped going that fast. At least people can see you and if you do get hit by a car you can jump off instead of getting ran over! Have you GPS'd your bike? Those things ususally SAY they go 50Kmph but in actuality you are lucky if you get 40.

Basically, this is what I've had for the last 16 years. Built from scratch and numerous (read expensive) screw ups. Originally had the identical paint scheme but in an unclear period in my life I changed it to all red with white wheels and white lettering. The tail and front were custom modified to accept Ducati lighting and turn signals to make it road worthy. Frame is of chromoloy steel and the engine is used as a stressed member, ie, it you remove any engine bolts without supporting the engine, the frome will snap in half. Swingarm is fulcrummed to the engine and is also made of chromoloy steel and weighs 7kg. Since it's a replica of a factory racer (pictured below) that won the world TT2 championship in 81, 82, 83 and 84, I had very little to go on when it came to anything outside of the engine. This bike never made it to mass production and was the forerunner to the Ducati TT1 (3 year production run), commonly known and sold as the Ducati F1 (in a red, white and green slash paint scheme). My TT2 is a fun, light, fast bike that is more at home on the track than on the road. I believe the wet weight for the race version was around 260 lbs. Hope you like.

Yes, they are brembo calipers and rotors. Aluminum/magnesium wheels and aluminum/magnesium sliders sourced from the early 80's 250cc World GP bikes. Gas tank came in aluminum or fiberglass, I opted for the aluminum and holds five gallons as per TT Formula 2 race regs. You can also see the miniscule battery perched in the tail as a complete charging system was also part of the race regs. Braided teflon lines throughout, no rubber here. Sitting position is so low that a 5'2" person would not have any difficulty planting both feet flat. It has the shortest wheelbase of any racing Ducati twin, to date.
