Radical Ducati bikes are invariably well engineered and good looking. This latest bike is nicknamed ‘Rad to Hell’, and it’s based on the Monster S2R 1000. Radical Ducati has wisely left the excellent suspension mostly alone, retaining the standard Showa front fork but installing an Öhlins shock at the back. The rear subframe has been modified, but it’s the engine that has received the most attention. In stock form, Ducati’s 992cc air cooled twin pumps out 95 bhp—pretty good for an all-rounder weighing a relatively lithe 178 kg (390 lbs). But Radical Ducati has gone one further, adding ported heads, improved breathing via racing-style filters, and a Wolfman exhaust system. The ECU is upgraded to an EVR item, and an EVR slipper clutch helps get the extra power to the ground.
