There are tons of custom Ducatis out there, but chances are only a few of them can hold a candle to the bike we have here today. It’s based on an old Ducati Monster 600, but hardly anything about that naked bike has been retained save for the engine. It was built by UK-based customizer Jim Alonze, and all it takes is one look to see that this thing’s a one-off custom. Let’s take a closer look at everything that’s gone into this bike.
It’s officially dubbed the Alonze Ducati 600 Special, and was featured in The Bike Shed. Jim Alonze has a very unique aesthetic when it comes to his builds, and you can see his work on his Instagram page. He has a knack for creating striking, elegant builds that make use of an exposed stainless steel trellis frame that give the bikes a slim and slender appearance. Alonze says his builds, particularly the Ducati 600 Special, are inspired by board track racers, and that the 600 Ducati L-twin was the perfect engine for the build owing to its slender proportions.
