RSD BUILD OF THE WEEK: NPA Ducati 1098
The NPA Ducati from Roland Sands Design. I would marry this bike if it was a woman. Image from http://www.rolandsands.com/wp/2009/07/08/npa-ducati-1098-2/.
Another RSD modified Ducati?
What is this, Christmas?
For your viewing pleasure, we have this beautiful NPA Ducati 1098 created by the folks over at Roland Sands Design.
Custom swingarm. Looks much lighter and badass then stock. Image from http://www.rolandsands.com/wp/2009/07/08/npa-ducati-1098-2/.
Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get the complete details on the build, but based on the photos we can do some true investigative journalism (by guessing the upgrades).
Here are the easy ones:
- Custom paint
- RSD Ronin Wheels
- Vance & Hines Exhaust
God is in the details. RSD slider to save that pretty paintjob. Image from http://www.rolandsands.com/wp/2009/07/08/npa-ducati-1098-2/.
Here are the ones that aren’t so obvious:
- RSD sliders
- Custom built rear swingarm
- Upgraded slipper clutch and vented clutch cover (presumably from Ducati)
- Upgraded rearsets (tough to tell the brand, CRG maybe?)
- Modified rear license plate holder
- Upgraded hand controls (this was purely a guess)
Love these wheels on the NPA Ducati 1098. Image from http://www.rolandsands.com/wp/2009/07/08/npa-ducati-1098-2/.
Knowing the guys from RSD, I am pretty sure the list still goes on and on, especially with any gearing and engine mods.
One thing we know for sure – this bike is one of the dopest Ducati 1098′s around and we wouldn’t mind having it featured in our Dream Garage any day of the week.
With this bike, I would want to ride 24/7. NPA Ducati 1098 image from http://www.rolandsands.com/wp/2009/07/08/npa-ducati-1098-2/.

To create Essential Style for Men, mix 2 parts petrol, 1 part secret agent, 1 part rock and roll, 1 part hip-hop and a shot of tequila in a shaker with ice and vigorously shake for 20 seconds. Pour into a martini glass rimmed with explosives and have a supermodel serve for all your friends to enjoy.
