GREEN FAST CHILLY PAPRIKA: 999 REINVENTED BY XTR PEPO

GREEN FAST CHILLY PAPRIKA

If it was a song it’d sound like Otherside , this green fast chilly paprika:

"I heard your voice through a photograph

I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I’ve got to take it on the otherside"

Pepostrikes back.

And he does it with a true icon of the early days of  The 00s.

The so contested 999, but so victorious 999. Called up to replace the work of art made by Mr.Tambunini, the 916 series, Terblanche changed everything, upgrading the new SBK to another level for the challengers.

So futuristic with its sharp design, Pierre’s deviated far from the standard dictated by Massimo.

But the Desmo V-Twin’s highborn, dating back to 1972.

A long line of pure racers. 

And Pepo had a hand in that.

Took a M.Y.2004 999, and started to dream about the golden age of motorcycle race, about that bikes where only a little piece of windscreen protected the riders, almost naked that you could see through them.

And like a tailor, he’s cut the unnecessary parts for his project and sewn new pieces to create this neo vintage bike.

The weight drops off drastically after the Pepo diet: from the dry weight of 204kg to 170kg of Paprika.

Bye Bye mirrors, light brackets, fairing, footpads, seat, gas tank, tail, and lights.

Welcome  AD fuel tank, Lightech ergal gas cap, RAD solo seat, RAD Front Fairing modified for mount XTR endurance light, RAD front bracket modified, MRA windshield, XTR CNC machined regulable footrest, XTR carbon fiber rear mudguard, RAD modified aluminum subframe, XTR license plate holder, Fresco 2 in 1 exhaust system, Spark megaphone, LIPO Battery, Brembo PR19 radial brake bump.

Just to name few changes.

The power was granted by the revolutionary  Testastretta, 4 valves, able to produce over 115hp at 9800rpm, and 100nm at 7600rpm.

What does it mean? Happiness for most of us. For the others, that live on the edge of 200hp probably it doesn’t say nothing.

But try to put some pepper in your life, play with Paprika, so spicy!

No electronic helps, you are responsible for your safety.
