Let’s set things straight; this beast would demolish its stock counterpart on the tarmac!
Despite having been received rather poorly by the market upon its release, Ducati’s vicious Sport 1000 Biposto is a force to be reckoned with. It is brought to life by a brutal SOHC L-twin leviathan that boasts two desmodromic valves per cylinder head and a massive displacement of 992 cc.
This ferocious piece of twin-cooled machinery will be more than happy to deliver as much as 90 hp at around 8,000 revs. On the other hand, the powerplant is perfectly capable of producing a crushing torque output of up to 67 pound-feet (91 Nm) at 6,000 rpm.
A six-speed gearbox is tasked with feeding the engine’s force to the rear 17-inch hoop by means of a chain final drive. Ultimately, this whole shebang leads to a respectable top speed of 134 mph (215 kph). Given its top-grade characteristics, I’ll bet the Frenchmen over at Kerozin had a hell of a time customizing one such creature back in 2013.
To kick things off, the moto artists went about honoring the bike’s L-twin mill with a selection of bespoke items that enable it to breathe more freely. As such, you will find a set of K&N air filters replacing the standard airbox and a Ducati Performance Termignoni exhaust system wearing a reverse megaphone muffler.
Next, the stock fuel injection setup has been discarded in favor of a high-performance aftermarket counterpart. As soon as work on the powertrain was wrapped up, Kerozin’s specialists proceeded to install a pair of laced carbon fiber wheels that wear a Ducati 999’s brakes on both ends. At the front, suspension duties are handled by a Monster S4R’s forks, coupled with dual shock absorbers from Ohlins’ inventory on the opposite end.
The Biposto’s tail section houses a neat LED lighting kit that keeps things clutter-free, accompanied by custom LED turn signals. We can also notice new handlebars adorning the machine’s front end, while an elegant leather strap and a one-off filler cap are worn with pride by the original fuel tank. The finishing touch comes in the form of a naval blue finish that looks seriously handsome.
Needless to say, Kerozin’s efforts have certainly paid off, don't you think?
