...........lThis eye-catching concept bike called the Ducati 599 Mono is the latest creation of Dan Anderson, the same man behind the Voltra electric concept that blinked an eye to the motorcycle press last year.
While its creator doesn’t have bad references at all, we can’t say we’re too ashamed of the way this thing looks…perfect, that is. You can spend hours trying to find something wrong with the aggressive design, which remains faithful to the original Ducati style, but once you start getting into details, something just doesn’t fit. More precisely, the 352lbs (dry) Ducati 599 Mono concept is powered by one half of a Ducati Evoluzione 1198 engine, meaning a 599cc single-cylinder thumper.
So why would anyone want to do that? My guess is that the designer thought at sacrificing horsepower over torque so that his concept would attract attention for eventually being capable to offer supermoto-like engine performance despite the Italian supersport lines. How does this combination sound to you?

The original supermono was pure horn! But singles are for dirt bikes...

Yeah was gonna say, been there done that and it flopped although I think it was only limited edition anyway and it cost some astronomical amount as it was virtually race spec componentry.

It was a pretty special single though. Robert Holden had a fair amount of success on one...

Speaking of concepts.....
anyone heard of Yamaha's patient for a special turbo-diesel motorbike engine design?
with todays turbo-diesel technology, we could see BHp figures close to what we have with conventional motors.... but with a F@#k load of torque!
should be interesting to see what happens, and what bikes they decide to put them in.
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Not mention economy. I think that this would be a great bike for touring the world on. I reckon a quiet, smooth & powerful diesel (it would have to be all 3) in something like the Connie would be great - think of the range! The GC in on 2 tanks of gas...

You might need to buy a FJR..... Turbo diesel...

Mate, there have been some crook Yamaha's in the past for sure (and there still is the odd one about too) but all manufacturer's have dogs in the past and will make dogs in the future too, don't let it put you off one of the two best Japanese motorcycle brands..
