The machine you’re looking at here was a regular 2005 Ducati 749 prior to meeting Jett Design Garage – a lesser-known workshop located in Washington, DC. As of 2018, the bike’s owner decided it was time to honor his ride with a personality of its own, so he wasted no time contacting JDG’s Andrew Jett to make that happen.
Let’s set things straight; Bologna’s predator was already a genuine marvel as soon as it came off the production line. At optimal rpm, its liquid-cooled 748cc L-twin powerplant will be more than happy to deliver as much as 108 hp and 60 pound-feet (81 Nm) of crushing torque. This ungodly force travels to a chain final drive via a six-speed gearbox, enabling the 749 to run the quarter mile in just 11.3 face-melting seconds.
