It’s the pb project blade, 172bhp, 173kg fuelled, it feels like a pushbike.

It’s got rotobox carbon rims , Kevlar bodywork, lightweight subframes, mountains of ti bolts, lithium battery and numerous other bits, I need to make a bracket for the can as it’s only supported by the springs and wobbles quite a bit and some carbon in the seat unit where the rear lights bolt through as the Kevlar lets it wobble but other than that ride it.

Up close the bodywork is track quality but it was purely built as an exercise in lightness to see how an older modded bike compares to a modern superbike, I can’t wait to get this out on a dawn run 😊

I ordered the sicom brakes yesterday 😊 I always wanted the braketech ccm’s for my rsv as I think they look even tricker but I don’t think they will ever get round to making anymore sadly, can’t wait. Took it out for a short run yesterday afternoon and Christ does it go well but the suspension needs softening off as it’s on track settings.

Wow that's a big spend on discs! Do you find them significantly better than stock or are you well into diminishing returns there? Imagine the bite, power, feel and weight will be improved a lot. Guess without ever riding on brakes like it's impossible to know what you're missing.

Never tried any ceramic yet and with the work that’s already been done on this to lighten it anything I do will be in the same vein and they’re trick as.

Different times I know but that's considerably more than I paid for my then low mileage Mille

Alright mate, adjusting to the new world etc. Hope you're well friend.
Really pleased with the Duc, it's also a light bike. Duc claimed 167 dry, Marchesini etc. I've changed all black plastic to carbon and a few other things. Looking out for some cf wheels and will prob go Brake Tech discs again, but...... Maybe ceramic? Joakim at Spoonvalley was saying I should have with the Ape after I bought the ss ones for the BST's. Mind you, he also wants to supercharge the Duc!!

I always wanted braketech ccm’s on the rsv as they look better than the sicom but no show from them for the foreseeable future, I was looking at a spoonvalley kit for the rsv but the amount of extra machining and parts you had to source yourself at the time nailed it for me, mine is at wratthal’s at the moment getting rebuilt with as few upgrades 😃
