Ducati V-One – Twin to Supercharged Single Conversion

Ducati V-One - Supercharged single conversion

Some guys come up with really interesting engine modifications and Bart Crauwels is one of those guys. Bart is currently working on a project that converts a Ducati 1000 DS, a 2 valve air cooled twin, into a supercharged single, using the rear cylinder as the blower. The 498cc single has 15 HP more than the original twin putting out 102 HP at the rear wheel, torque is increased and it runs fine to 10,000 rpm, 2500 rpm over stock. It’s about 30 HP more than the well known Ducati Supermono. The Ducati V-One, as he calls it, is for racetrack use only and when things get sorted out he plans to build 40 of them for customers.

In recent years there have been some custom builders, Roger Goldammer comes to mind, who have replaced the rear cylinder on a V-Twin with a supercharger. Since the cylinder is already an air pump, Bart just used what was already there. Of course, the first question before doing this is whether the blown single will have more power than the twin it’s derived from and the answer, in this case, is yes.

Another cool feature is the air tank under the seat, limited to 40 bars, which is good for a 10 second burst of compressed air when acceleration begins after which the blower’s output kicks in. On deceleration, the tank is recharged. It’s hard to see everything that Bart has done by looking at the photos, I notice an intercooler in the plumbing, too, but overall, I like this a lot.

Big thanks to Hugo for the tip!

Motor Ducati 999

Motor Ducati 999...............

Had Ducati's 999 been the follow-up to, say, the Honda RC51, we have no doubt it would've been an instant smash hit. But instead it replaces the much loved and revered 916-998 series, bikes widely considered to be the most beautiful of the past several decades.

But as lovely as that series of bikes is to look at, the legend wouldn't have been created if not for its high level of performance on both the track and the street.

That performance is upped with the 999, so there should be much rejoicing. Instead, Ducati has been faced by many
who consider its new shape to be a mistake and won't take the bike seriously because of it.

Well, all we can tell you is that the 999 is probably the best streetbike Ducati has ever produced, and the whiny poseurs who poo-poo the new design are missing out on a thrilling Italian thoroughbred, cutting off their collective noses to spite their face.

I must admit that I, too, was among that crowd of naysayers who judged the 999 on the basis of its appearance. After all, Italy is the epicenter of design, and the Triple-Nine, while delivering a stunning styling statement, is a radical departure from the clean, flowing lines of its predecessors.

But as we found our during the press introduction at Willow Springs racetrack, the new Ducati superbike has nothing to fear, functionally, from the old 998. Several days riding on the street (not to mention more track work at a DP Safety School at Infineon Raceway and a bit of amateur drag racing) have solidified our early impressions and even increased them in some ways.

First off, let's address some of the styling points of this controversial design of South African Pierre Terblanche. Its lines aren't as sublimely harmonious as the previous bike, but there are many trick elements that please the eye. The tiny fuel tank has an aggressive, multi-faceted look that is mimicked by the minimal and sleek tailsection. Also, many positive comments were made about how the rear cylinder can clearly be seen from the left side underneath the rear of the fuel tank, giving the bike more of a mechanical presence.

The area above the rear is gloriously unobstructed thanks to the continued use of silencers set under the rear seat, except this time the single muffler looks like a big toaster. The single-sided swingarm that we all loved from the old bike has been replaced by a one-piece cast double-arm device that weighs the same but is 8% more rigid torsionally. It is also 15mm longer for better stability under braking plus better traction from the rear tire. Its design also has the added benefits of not altering the rear ride height when adjusting chain tension and it keeps the wheel spacers in the same spot when changing tires so it bolts back on with no fuss.

Superbike 749R

A SPORTS BIKE WITHOUT COMPROMISE

The 749R, designed to race in the World Supersport Championship, is an outstanding racing machine. It features the most powerful mid-size Testastretta engine produced by Ducati together with a state-of-the-art chassis set up, both developed specifically for top track performance.

The 749R is driven by a mighty twin-cylinder Testastretta engine created especially for racing. The 121 hp at 10,500 rpm has been achieved through full race tuning, and shortening the piston stroke while increasing the bore to 94 mm, up from the 90 mm of the 749 and 749s, thus enabling the engine to run at higher rpm. The slipper clutch is also racing derived and prevents the rear wheel from locking during track style downshifting and heavy engine deceleration.

This Testastretta twin-cylinder engine has been created using the best materials: titanium valves, valve retaining collets and connecting rods, magnesium head covers and carbon fibre belt covers that feature a ventilation system to enhance belt cooling. The feather-weight crankshaft and high resistance aluminium alloy pistons complete the array of top notch components.

One of the unique features of this model is the rear suspension linkage, with flat rising rate as used on competition Ducatis, that is suited to extreme track use and a single-seat set up. The lower rising rate produces linear performance throughout the stroke with less rigidity at high ranges, typical of high-speed cornering experienced on the track. The suspension works in partnership with a fully adjustable Öhlins rear shock absorber, with a shorter stroke than in the standard version (down from 71 to 56 mm) and with a heavier spring, designed especially for this motorcycle and its unique rear suspension.

This model is exclusively available as a single-seater and is finished off with a numbered silver plate on the top yoke.
