Ducati 350 Vern Jnr Special


..." After finding himself with an ex-Swiss Army Condor, Tony Hannagan (Beveltech, Melbourne Vic)  decided to construct a “Junior” version of his 2006 Vern special  which would also reference the endurance racing successes of Ducati singles at the Barcelona 24 Hour races back in the 1960s. A new frame design (with the fuel reserve housed in the spine) was built from Chrome Moly steel and fitted with laser-cut engine mounting plates, the wheels & brakes came from an Aprilia RS125 while the forks are off a 998 Foggy Replica. The bodywork is a 3/4 scale revision of the classic NCR design with a touch of Aprilia in the seat." ....

The motor has had the compression raised, some porting done, alloy timing gears fitted and the flywheel removed (total loss ignition). A flat slide Mukuni is currently installed (to be replaced with a 32mm Dell O’rto). The result is indeed “junior” - compared to the original Condor the wheelbase has been reduced by 130mm to 1270mm, while the weight (with oil, no fuel) is 96kg - a remarkable 81kg reduction! Photographed near Melbourne, Vic. 2015."...
