Older Ducatis... you either love them or you hate them. In case you were the kind of guy bashing the late 90's 900 SuperSports, here's the Matador, a radical Ducati-customized machine which should change your mind.
If custom streetfighters are your game, then the Matador will surely raise your pulse: it not only comes with a truly radical look, but it has also been radically changed, from the largest parts down to minute details. With extreme attention to all aspects, Radical Duccati has managed to make the Matador look very tidy and even way sportier than the original machine.

With chassis and the rear subframe modified to suit the new design line, the matador now looks very compact: the revised fuel tank and V-Rod type headlight have the same forward-slanted top line, screaming asphalt aggression.

The Rizoma conical handlebars got the brake and clutch pumps from a 1098 and it now rests on CNC machined risers and top yoke. The Matador has has its wiring re-worked on and hidden to match the clean design of the while beast.

Finally, the engine underwent some modifications involving a lighter flywheel, some cylinder heads word and higher compression, all matching the WolfMan 2-in-1 exhaust and MWR air pod filters. Si señor, nos gusta el Matador.
