Ducati Terra Mostro Dual Sport
March 12th, 2007 at 8:28 am by Paul Crowe - "The Kneeslider"
Would Ducati build a dual sport Monster if they had the chance? Why wait to find out? Just build your own. That’s what these guys did and from the looks of it, Ducati may want to pay attention. This is one seriously sweet bike. They don’t give out a lot of details but from what I can see, it looks great. I like the headlight, too.
Buell is just now talking about getting into the dirt and here are a few guys who just built a bike on their own that might give that new Buell a headache.

It looks killer, but definitely for the rich guy with money to spare.

Or how about this one?
Gaspare Momesso competes in things like the Italian Enduro Championships on this, and Italian Baja…
He also does a conversion kit for about $2,000.

those bikes look great, but are those frames made to take the beating of a full-blown dirtbike (i.e. cracking engine mounts & other areas after jumps)?
I know KTM makes a factory Super dirtbike, but that is factory.

I personally can’t stand DPs, because they all look a little ungainly on the pavement. The Duc above is gorgeous in it’s stock configuration, but doesn’t quite cut the mustard off road. And while I’m at it, has anyone thought of the frame strength here? Personally, I’d like to see the antithesis to this. A low slung, low leaning, hard riding Mostro… A naked 1098 really. Anyone else seeing what I’m seeing?

I love this, growing up on dirt bikes I have always preferred them over other styles. I believe this is going to be the next wave in customs. ‘Chopper’ builders are embracing knobby tires as of late and I talked to a couple of guys who are planning dual sport style builds. I remember in the late 80s/early 90s there was a conversion kit for sportsters.
