Nice fusion of the aluminum swingarm of the Ducati with the steel frame of the Honda. Technically very clean and also very good tennis from the engineering work of the NCT boys.

A good 8,000 euros in material went into the engine alone. The result is 980 cubic meters and real 130 hp on the rear wheel. 40 to 50 horses more than the real series had.

Crouched front, high stern, long line, stub handlebars and a lot of steam in the engine room. The definition of Cafe Racer is sufficient.

More steam, more damping

Honda engine and Ducati chassis. A powerful combination. NCT Motorcycles builds the single-sided swingarm of a Monster and 130 HP in a CB 900 F.

When Honda presented the CB 900 F over 40 years ago at the IFMA in Cologne, it was brutal to say the least. The engine developed directly from the famous Bol d’Or winning bikes on the road. 901 cubic meters, 16 valves and 95 hp. At that time only six-cylinder units and their lush extra weight were gross. A cult engine today, a wet dream back then. Unfortunately, even in 1978 not all horses actually arrived and by today’s standards a chassis of this era is – diplomatically – worthy of improvement. So what does it take: more steam and more cushioning. NCT Motorcycles from Feldkirchen in Carinthia is working on it.

On 130 PS with classic tuning

A good 8,000 euros in material went into the engine alone. The result is 980 cubic meters and real 130 hp on the rear wheel. 40 to 50 horses more than the real series had.

A good 8,000 euros later, the subject of steam can be regarded as fulfilled. The formerly 901 cubic row four of the CB 900 F is drilled out to 980 cubic, relieved, finely balanced. Ingredients forged pistons, forged connecting rods, racing cams, larger valves, Keihin round slides, open filters and an equally open exhaust system. Classic tuning of the mechanics. Basically lovely. Result: Some of the standard 95 HP were previously hidden between the clutch and the gearbox, now real – take note – 130 HP pull the rear wheel.

Ducati donated a single-sided swing arm

For the requirement attenuation and to show the difference, there is a Ducati Monster 1100 Evo ready as a dispenser for the chassis. Above all, the characteristic single-sided swing arm should be adapted to the Honda in a style-defining way. To do this, the complete rear frame is removed and the main frame for the new, off-center suspension strut mount is cross braced for more stability between the frame loops. Furthermore, the frame is reinforced with a strong X-brace over the carburetor. NCT rebuilds the new rear frame from tubes, the Ducati strut is retained. Just like the entire final drive, brakes and rims of the monsters. A similar picture paints itself at the front end of the Duc-Honda. A Showa USD fork is adapted to the Honda steering head with the original Ducati triple clamps; the front rim and the Ducati Brembo brake are still used.

Swingarm, rim, shock absorber, brake: everything was taken over from the Ducati Monster 1100 Evo and carefully implanted into the Honda frame.

Parts from the 3D printer

Completely new and unique, however, are the new hump and tank, each handmade from sheet aluminum, and the new lamp cover, which NCT produces using 3D printing. For the complex sheet metal work, NCT gets help from the Slovenian colleagues at ER Motorcycles. There are 200 working hours in the tank alone. In addition to the lamp cover, the holder for the Motogadget instrument also comes from the printer at NCT. Further electrical components from Motogadget are mounted on this instrument. Micro buttons, indicators and ignition lock are rebuilt as a Can-Bus using the Motogadget M-Unit. All components can be configured using the app and the motorcycle can be started using Key-Less-Go.

The new cockpit is complemented by LSL stubs and a stylish brake pump from Spiegler. The road approval for all kinds of driving fun in and around Salzburg has been achieved, even if the necessary mirrors and license plates are still missing this winter.

Conclusion

Never ask the question of meaning with a custom bike. Economically, this can neither be explained nor put into perspective. Such conversions like those by NCT ​​are stylistically very close to the limit of art, in terms of craftsmanship far above and in total simply beautiful.
