Ducati 900 SS Evoluzione


Questa Ducati è un tributo alla moto 900 SS di Mike Hailwood, nella livrea che segno il suo ritorno alla corse e che lo portò alla vittoria al Tourist Trophy del 1978.
Opera di Ferry Van den Boom un preparatore olandese, il suo intento non era quello di creare un special “Non ho mai avuto intenzione di costruire una replica: penso che sia solo una moto cool” 





Se avete l'impressione di riconosce un pò la linea o che la mente vi rimandi ad altre moto avete ragione infatti codino-sella è opera di Radical Ducati, che caratterizzava le sue moto per posteriori molto alti ma dalla dall'aspetto leggero. La carenatura è invece opera della mani dell'olandese che si è ispirato alla SS originale. 
  

In un telaio di una ST4 è stato montato il motore due valvole raffreddato ad aria di una 900SS che respira attraverso un sistema di scarico personalizzato 2-in-1 
La  ciclistiche è aggiornata con nuovi componenti, l'avantreno adotta una forcella proveniente da un Monster S4 (è una Showa regolabile con steli da 43 mm), mentre il forcellone monobraccio arriva da una S2R. I cerchi sono Marchesini a cinque razze appartenevano a una 998, mentre il serbatoio proviene da una 999.
 Nuovo e moderno e ora il cruscotto digitale mentre la verniciatura rispecchia la colorazione Castrol dell'epoca

Laverda P12XX Concept


P12xx is a tribute to the legendary Laverda Jota 1000, which was the most powerful production model and the fastest in the 70's.

The P12xx project is a neo-retro very special development of the legendary Laverda 1000 3-cylinder 180 °. The concept introduces innovative recipe development and preparation, as well as specific technical solutions for the purpose of relief and performance. 




For maximum relief, each piece is carefully examined to remove any unnecessary weight. In the same spirit, the body is entirely made of carbon fiber. The axes of wheels and oscillating arm, the motor supports and some internal parts are machined from Ti6Al4V titanium. The hardware is also in titanium or aluminum in 7075.




The engine has the lowest degree of development made possible by the adoption of components and the latest techniques.




The suspension and braking are the most current standards and specially adapted to the project.





The multiplexed electrical management and flight instruments combine reliability, performance and lightness.

The "Ago" TT


Faust collaborated with MV Agusta and Deus ex Machina to build the hand-crafted "Ago TT". A custom race bike inspired by Giacomo Agostini's 1966 TT winning MV Agusta.





To honor Giacomo Agostini and his unparalleled string of successes with MV Agusta, Atelier Faust has brought in Deus ex Machina to transform MV’s new 3-cylinder Brutale 800RR.

MV Agusta has given Deus ex Machina USA’s Michael Woolaway their blessing to customize the current model of the Brutale 800RR paying tribute to MV’s glorious racing heritage. Considered one of the greatest motorcycle racers of all time, Giacomo Agostini won 13 Grand Prix championships and 10 Isle of Man TT’s between 1966 and 1973 astride the MV Agusta Marque.

Woolie intends to shape the Brutale into a modern interpretation of the iconic TT race bikes ridden in the 60’s and 70’s by Agostini.
