| The RAD 01 is a kit bike offering from Spanish company Radical 
                    Ducati. The RAD 01 was designed by Michael Uhlarik, who also 
                    designed the 2003 Yamaha M1 MotoGP bike, and more recently 
                    the Yamaha MT-03.
 
 Based on either a Ducati 749 or 999, the RAD 01's components 
                    bolt on using the original drill holes so the modification 
                    is fully reversible and return to stock is easy. The RAD 01 
                    has a bigger fuel tank, 20 litres instead of 18.5, and the 
                    ram air system has been improved by repositioning the vents 
                    in the front fairing, and moving the headlights down and into 
                    the side fairings. Other changes include a redesigned tail 
                    unit and new front subframe.
 
 The 
                    kit costs £1400 ($2450), plus the donor bike, and fitting 
                    takes only around an hour to fit, apparently. |
