Ducati Supermono

...ah finger trouble again...here are the specs that I have found for the Supermono...beautiful little bike.

This bike had a large bore slipper piston...it'd be nice to have the bike, but a piston would do me just to look at...the engine was loosely based around a V-twin (Ducati now call them L twins just to be different), with the rear cylinder replaced by a reciprocating counter weight that was pivoted in the cases. It revved nice and high for a single because of this.

Ducati still mention it as a possible road bike from time to time...wonder if they'll ever do it?
