The Mistress

The Problem
I'd been through them all. Bike after bike, always chasing the next thing, until I decided I just wanted the best. For me that was the Ducati Streetfighter.
The Brief
Make it unmistakably mine, and change that colour ASAP.
The Solution
Fresh custom paint to kill the factory colour first. Then the Akrapovic came off, replaced with a custom Buell-style under-belly system that cleaned up the entire back of the bike and finally let the sexy single-sided swingarm do the talking, the best part of a Streetfighter. A new seat, a tail tidy and an integrated rear light stripped the tail right back, and Rizoma levers, grips and uniquely mounted reservoirs finished the details.
This is the longest I've ever kept a bike, and this one I'm keeping!! It's just raw power, no abbreviations trying to keep you alive, just two Brembos.
