LONG LIFE TO DESMODUE!
Valencia, here we come!
How are you?
Have you seen Sepang GP?
Had you a thought for Marco?
Well, waiting for the next post, the last, about MISANOCLASSICWEEKEND, I have to say to all of you that the glorious, a natural born race engine made in Borgo Panigale, conceived and developed by engineer Fabio Taglioni will rise again!
An engine that crossed the times and the emission standards.
It's called "POMPONE" or Desmodue, 2 valves for a cylinder.
Now we could see this amazing engine on the Scrambler, a real handyman bike, with a good power and an interesting torque.
The real plus is the sound with a great weight saving.
But it's an 803cc, the old 796 engine that equipped my bike, HYPERMOTARD796, MONSTER796/797.
But now, the beast it's back.
Ladies and Gentlemen the all brand new 1100EVO.
Now it's Eco-friendly, of sure, but quoting Prodigy, This baby's got temper and you will never tame her.
All right.
We want engines with a strong personality, and this unit has a lot of.
In his last evolution (HYPERMOTARD1100EVOSP and MONSTER1100EVO) had something like 95hp and a beasty torque 103Nm at 5750rpm.
And we have only to wait one week to see this sexy scrambler with a desmobomb inside live at EICMA 2017!
But, wait.
We need to take a step back.
To change continent.
And to visit the LloydBrother headquarter.
Why?
Because these guys were the pioneers in this area.
They started in the far 2011 to race with a monster bike on the dust, before Ducati sold his bike with the 803cc.
The rider? A Bullet, a certain Brad Baker.
2011 rookie of the year. On a Desmo.
They continued for their own way till today.
Building amazing bike.
But first of all, successful and winning.
2015, new 803cc Scrambler was exposed at EICMA.
The new "next big thing" in Ducati.
And in the meanwhile, LloydBrother continued challenging in the USA finessing the Desmodue with the help of @DUCATIMOTOR and Jim Dillard, famous Ducatis collector inthe USAA.
And showed this masterpiece:
Air cooled 1100cc equipped with Pistal pistons
NCR cams
ported heads with large valves
removed 6th gear and added close ratio 4/5 gear
heavy flywheel added
custom built frame for flat track
Riders? TROY BAYLISSTIC and Johnny Lewis

What else?
It's not enought?
NO DAMN!
Ok, here for you their new beast out of the cage:
939 Flat Track.
These wizards made the flat track history in USA.
Now they got a little poblem: They need sponsors to continue to do what they do best:
Race and Win.
Develop and test.
I will leave you all the info about this team. I got not much money, but the least I can do is to give the right visibility to them!
For all the questions:
Go on and don't give up!
And, STAY TUNED FOR LIVE VIDEOS, INTERVIEWS AND MUCH MORE FROM #EICMA2017 !!!
