Monday Evening Moto News - Chris Ulrich and Ducati Mono

The Toyota Gold Cup Unlimited Formula One class continued racing with the 2010 season opener for the Willow Springs Motorcycle Club, which took place this last weekend. And, Chris Ulrich, riding for Roadracingworld.com and Suzuki, took yet another victory at the event. This, of course, puts him in first place overall and a very comfortable lead, especially this early in the season. Many other classes were run during the race weekend and, for all of the results, take the link.

Well, it is not actually a Ducati, yet. But, designed Dan Anderson has been hard at work on his Ducati 599 Mono Concept and has allowed it to be seen by our eyes. It is a fantastic design, and I really hope that Ducati gives some thought to producing it as it would be a wonderful bike for beginning racers and road-riders alike. All of the technology is available right now, so it would not be hard to tool up for the production run. There is one thing I would change, though: move the fuel tank lower, put the airbox on top and turn the faux tank into storage or similar. That would bring the CG down lower and make it handle like on rails.
