the project was started before the 1098 was conceived and not designed to race a ducati.My brother had no licence or outlet to flex his interest in bikes.Couple that with easyriders access to great parts worldwide and the concept was born.Its a showcase of premium parts and rest assured it will be very light.i wouldn,t call terry shephards frame ill thought out.the weight balance,frame flex,engine position,swingarm pivot point and strength are all a proven package.It may take a long time to get sorted but like all motorcyclist often the journey is where the joy is,not just the destination.The frame is designed to take a ducati motor if the option arose.So its not a suzuki any more than a cagiva is.
