PANIGALE<br />

RAPTOR<br />

What would have happened had<br />

Ducati entered the world of Quads?<br />

Here is one very cool build by a Polish<br />

custom crowd called ATV Swap Garage.<br />

Even if you don’t like quads, we bet<br />

that you looked twice…<br />

What they have done with much ingenuity is<br />

convert a Yamaha 660 Raptor to a fire breathing<br />

1299cc monster Ducati Panigale.<br />

We’ve seen some pretty radical builds in our<br />

time – but this is quite possibly the most exotic<br />

to date.<br />

But – with great power comes the need for<br />

control - so the folks from Swap garage packed<br />

this little number with some pretty high end<br />

stuff to keep things in shape.<br />

The frame has been cut in half, gusseted <strong>and</strong><br />

reinforced. The swingarm is extended for added<br />

traction… <strong>and</strong> above all of that, you’ll find a<br />

custom built long range fuel tank.<br />

Lone star A-arms, Fox piggyback suspension,<br />

even the A-arms received carbon fibre detailing.<br />

Very cool! Jet Black Custom Nerf Bars meld<br />

perfectly with this machine.<br />
