Kind of heavy. I don't know if Timbersled makes a kit for the Ducati. You would probably have to send them the bike.

Way too heavy. You would be just as heavy as a snowhawk with less power.

I haven't even seen any sign of these kits even being put on a machine of this sort . I've seen a few vids of dirt bikes with street engines , so the demand is there . When these kits transfer over to motards , street bikes it will take the game to a whole new level . Yamaha has done it for years and now Cat is sporting that engine . The new bike kit on the block might just have made that connection accessible .

I have the 2013 Ducati Hypermotard SP. It is a phenominal urban cut and thrust bike. I've looked at it for the potential of puting the MH kit on it. There would definately be some custom fabrication to make the rear fit onto the swingarm mount as the exhaust loops down in the immediate area. The motor is awesome though and a huge improvement over the former aircooled 1100 version. With the Termi exhaust it puts out 120 HP. I agree that it would be a bit heavier than the dirtbikes and almost as heavy as a 600 snowhawk. For the money, it would be better to get a 450 MX bike and put a turbo on it. You would then get close to 90-100HP, light set-up and no custom futzing with the MH chassis.

To heavy did it gsxr750
My 2stroke ktm 550 blew it away

Lighter is better
