Vee
Two Super Squalo
Australian
motorcycle tuners and builders Vee Two created the Super Squalo. A superbike
which is loosely based around the Ducati 999 chassis and engine.
The
Vee Two tweaked 998 cc v-twin engine has been mated to a Sprintex supercharger
allowing for 200 horsepower (at the crank) and a strong flat torque curve.
Vee
Two drafted in world renowned motorcycle designer John Keogh to pen the Super
Squalo's lines. The design of the Super Squalo is influenced by the name.
Squalo means shark in Italian, and the visible connection can be seen in the
bodywork. The belly pan is painted to look like the underside of a Great White,
and the tail unit features shark gill style slits.
The
hand built superbike, of which only 99 will be made, is equipped with a few
features unique to the bike. Firstly a windscreen which adjusts its angle
electronically according to road speed, and a rear view camera with dash
mounted display screen.
Vee
Two have used only the finest components and materials for the Super Squalo's
construction. Ohlins suspension, Marchesini wheels, ceramic coated dual
exhaust, digital race dash and a braced trellis type swing arm are just a few
of the highlights.
The
Vee Two Super Squalo is available in a choice of five metallic colors including
grey, black, orange, yellow and blue. Price is US$ 45,000.
