DUCATI PANDORA

Based on a 2016 Monster 1200 R the vision of a modern racer became reality.
The Pandora is hybrid between a gp-bike and a contemporary cafe racer. Inspired by the classic sport bikes from the 70’s such as the 900ss and 750 sport we wanted to keep the classic lines of that era but still give it a modern look. after building the rear frame we took on the seat and the tank.

The idea of the video is based on the famous Greek mythology: 

Once you open the "Pandora's box" you'll release all the evils of humanity.

The vicious motorcycle takes control and drags the driver into madness.

Inspired by 80's computer graphics the video and animation includes colors and graphics of the early sci-fi film area.

We had the idea of building the seat and tank out of one piece. we started with making an aluminium construction to put clay on it to shape the monocoque. a friend then made a mold and the final fiberglass monocoque. in order to keep low and clean lines the fuel tank was moved to back. the fuel cap and a 2.5 liter aluminium tank are in the rear while the main tank sits where the battery box and lots of electrical things previously were. combined the two aluminium tanks fit more than enough gas to get you places. 

9 liters of gas to be exact. where one would expect the fuel tank we now put the brain of the motorbike: everything from the abs to batteries we hid under there. also we used a custom-made cooler that is half the size of the original one yet more efficient. we replaced the rubber hoses with aluminium pipes to fit the radical appearance of the bike. the exhaust work was done in-house and replaced the original 2-in-1 system. the megaphones are metal pressed out of a flat sheet on the leith. the handlebars we replaced with clip-ons.
