Ducati Super Squalo Supercharged 999

.  

195 kilogram (dripping wet and fully fueled) Super Squalo supercharged 998cc v-twin. The bike is loosely based on a Ducati 999, and uses the same Testastretta motor with modified internals, plus a Sprintex series 4-150 supercharger to deliver 200bhp matched by a strong and ultra-flat torque curve starting very low in the rev range. World renowned motorcycle designer John Keogh worked with Vee Two’s Brook Henry and Sprintex to design this unique machine of which only 99 will be manufactured, each an individually numbered, limited edition, hand-built machine with a dazzling array of the latest top shelf gear including a close ratio six speed gearbox, powershifter, ceramic coated dual exhaust system, Öhlins suspension front and rear, Marchesini wheels, digital race dashboard and a rear-facing camera and in-dash video screen for rearwards view. 

The frame of the Super Squalo is a Ducati 999 unit with adjustable rake and trail and wheelbase, but the swinging arm is a braced trellis-type single-sided unit designed to keep the 200 ponies in line.

Highly regarded international motorcycle designer John Keogh is responsible for the design, while the bike is built in Perth Australia by world-renowned constructors Vee Two using the (originally Scottish) Sprintex supercharger.
