I don’t know about you, but I absolutely dig that raw aluminum bodywork!
The project we’ll be looking at today is the work of none other than the moto pros over at White Collar Bike. As you browse the workshop’s Facebook profile, you’ll run into countless works of two-wheeled art that’ll make you weak at the knees. Let’s cut to the chase and proceed with a thorough examination of the firm’s transformation of a 2012 variant from Ducati’s feral Monster 795 range, shall we?
Within its trellis frame, Bologna’s beast houses an untamed L-twin colossus, with two desmodromic valves per cylinder and a solid displacement of 803cc. This ruthless piece of air-cooled machinery will be more than happy to produce as much as 86 hp at 8,250 rpm, while a respectable torque output of 57 pound-feet (78 Nm) will be supplied at approximately 6,250 rpm.
A six-speed transmission is tasked with handing the engine’s oomph over to the rear 17-inch wheel by means of a chain final drive. Ultimately, this whole ordeal leads to a 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) acceleration time of no more than 4.2 seconds. At the same time, the top speed is generously rated at 130 mph (210 kph).
As for White Collar’s unique masterpiece, the customization process kicked off with the fabrication of a fresh aluminum swingarm, as well as a rear wheel hub and a pair of front brake disc covers imitating the look of drum brakes. When the crew was happy with how the aforementioned components turned out, they went about applying their alloy-shaping skills to the Monster’s bodywork.
Thus, the original body panels were discarded to make way for a selection of bespoke counterparts that were painstakingly manufactured in-house using an English wheel, hammers, and sandbags. These units include a sexy fuel tank, a retro-style front fairing, and one neat tail section, which makes this Monster look even more agile. The latter hosts a grilled LED taillight that keeps things rugged.
Finally, you will find drilled mesh accents adorning just about everything from the new wheel hubs and gas tank to the heat shields flanking the exhaust and even the front fairing. All things considered, this bad boy looks like an absolute warrior!
