Ducati 1199 Superleggera “The Super” by Roland Sands Designs
In 2014 the Ducati 1199 SuperLeggera was launched as an ultra-light and ultra-sport motorcycle. It was a limited edition built with special materials such as magnesium, carbon fiber, titanium and aluminum, with an Akrapovič exhaust and weighed 155 kg dry, producing 201 hp.
Superleggera is Italian for Superlight, and when Ducati introduced their 1199 Superleggera in 2014, it was touted as an ultra-exclusive version of the 1199 Panigale R with dramatically increased power and a significant weight loss to its already supermodel thin predecessor. The exclusivity came from production of the 1199 Superleggera being limited to only 500 worldwide.
Roland Sands took the SuperLeggera and built this naked custom, which he named the “The Super”, and it took inspiration from the '70s and' 80s, when the riders rode without protection of a fairing or windscreen.
The magnesium frame and V-Twin engine formed the base of the motorcycle from which the rest of the bike was build.
According to RSD:
"The fairing was turned into a flat number plate and intake which also holds the air sensor and GPS module as well as the gyro maintaining wheelie/ traction control. Full Ti and tweaked Akrapovič exhausts system was chopped up to narrow and hug the fabricated tail section. The fuel tank was cut and modified to maintain the stock shape and flow with the new body lines while also making room for electronics which was the most challenging aspect of the project. To maintain a fully functional electronics package and nowhere to hide, the guts had to be exposed or covered with as minimal effort as possible.
Febur factory race radiator and oil cooler replaced the stock units and add plenty of cooling and Super Bike grit to the front of the bike. Carbon high bars were put in place of the standard clip ons and a custom top triple clamp is being machined to carry custom risers. Next stop for the machine is the carbon shop to repop many of the aluminum bits in carbon to further bring the weight down into what will be a lighter version of the SL.
Paint will be finished by AIRTRIX with a beautiful mix of chrome, candy grey, bone white and subtle pinstriping inspired by choppers and hot rods."
