Very cool stuff, using the engine as a stress member just like F1…:wow:wow:excited:excited:clap:clap
Ducati Patent Application Link: >>HERE<<
About time in my opinion. In most sport bikes of recent the motor is already acting as a stressed member in one way or another, whether it be in a bracing fashion for the frame, or a suspension/swingarm mount(or both). It was only a matter of time before one of the manufactures got off their ass and ditched the frame all together, merging the technology with integral fluid reservoirs and the like 
I like it! I guarantee you’ll see this merged with prepeg carbon tech and see some insanely light prototype released very soon

Video was taken at Daytona in 1988 of a Norton Cosworth :bowdown:bowdown
This will bring a whole new meaning to the term “Bent frame” :wow
Cool stuff indeed.
I like the blades
So what happens in the event of a big crash? Would it be easier or harder to total out? I have nooo clue when it comes to bikes lol
Woo Hoo! 100 year old farm tractor technology :rofl
Nobody will ever find out, Ducati owners don’t crash :lol
You’ll have one eventually :lmao
