Roland Sands custom Ducati Hypermotard

Roland Sands unveiled a custom version of the Ducati Hypermotard at the Long Beach International Motorcycle Show. No other info on this other than what you see. I’m sure this one will ignite the Ducati faithful. I like this a lot more than the standard Hypermotard though you might need to muffle that exhaust a bit.

    “You might need to muffle that exhaust a bit.”

    Yeah, that’s the understatement of the century ;) That exhaust is also one of the coolest things about this bike. That, and they got rid of the silly front fender-lookin thing on the stock bike.

    Rock on, Roland.

    I see that still no one can think of a good way to add mirrors to the HM…

    I dig the pipes.

    Otherwise this bike is FUG-Lee… hard to out style the Italians.

    Don’t worry, removing the timing belt covers creates huge power gains!

  5. PeteP Says:

    I am not a big fan of Roland Sands’ styling. His work looks well done, and he is skilled, but I don’t share his vision, I guess.

  6. chris Says:

    I’d still buy the stock S instead. This definately took away the minimalist sway out of this one.

  7. John Says:

    Don’t get me wrong, those wheels are really nice. But don’t you think he may have a sponsorship deal with them. I have seen the same model of wheel on like three different bikes he has customized already. We all know that we could create custom looking bikes just as well by simply adding parts and paint…

    Should’ve installed clipons. would’ve looked way better.

  9. Sid Says:

    John - yeah, those wheels are Performance Machine wheels…his father’s company.

  10. Big Mike Says:

    Sands and Rooke thats a package deal, seems like everytime those 2 do something it’s gonna be a Performance Machine Extravaganza! I bet there are gonna be some “CUSTOM” parts in the PM Catalog for those bikes real soon. Give those Bikes to Curt Winter or Gregg from Greggs Customs and lets see the magic happen!
