    ROLAND SANDS DESIGN’S CUSTOM DUCATI HYPERMOTARD

    Posted by: in Custom, Ducati, Roland Sands

    Roland Sands, whose KRV5 Tracker was featured here recently, has created an incredible custom Ducati Hypermotard. Sand‘s company Roland Sands Design (RSD) unveiled the bike last month to journalists and Ducati personnel in Long Beach, California. Apparently Ducati had given RSD only 2 months to work on the bike, but the results are stunning!

    Wheels: Performance Machine Contract Cut Diesels
    Handlebar: Renthal Fat Bar with custom RSD risers
    Forks: Ohlins, blacked out
    Brake Calipers: PM Contract Cut radials
    Frame: Stock, Flat Bronze powdercoated
    Fuel cell: Custom
    Seat: Aztec Customs/RSD

    The front ‘beak’ style front fender is missing, RSD foot controls have been installed, while the rear footpegs have been shed, and the rear Dunlop tyre is a lot fatter than stock, 240/40R19 compared to the stock 180/55R17. To cope with this RSD fabricated a new tubular steel rear swingarm. The timing belt covers have been eliminated, and the engine exhales through a pair of very loud looking stainless straight pipes!

    The following are fantastic pics published by MotoRevue.

    some aspects of this bike are lovely like the nose, tail and paint. others are not ducati or even race inspired at all, like those hideous rims and lame Dunlop rubber. the exhaust get points for being custom, but has nothing on the full race system offered by termignoni. lastly anyone who thinks they can best the STOCK mono-block Brembo calipers is fooling themselves and just doing it for show. so i detract point for the brakes too.

    I believe RSD and Jesse Rooke have some sort of sponsorship deal with Dunlop.

    RSD has some really cool designs, but this one does not seem to be an improvement over the standard factory design. Looks very rough. Maybe that was the idea. Not my cup of tea.
