In my opinion, the Ducati MH900e is not only Pierre Terblanche’s most aesthetically pleasing design experiment but also one of Italy’s coolest limited-production motorcycles. With just 2,000 units leaving the Bologna factory at the turn of the 21st century, these bikes often fetch substantial sums at auctions.
Modifying one is generally considered sacrilegious, but a tattoo studio owner from Taiwan had different ideas. Despite warnings, he persuaded Onehandmade’s frontman to customize it.
Undeterred by advice, Chun Hung, the owner, sought to fulfill his client’s vision while preserving Ducati’s essence. With approval secured, he removed the standard bodywork and started on a fabrication journey. Onehandmade crafted aluminum component that beautifully transformed the MH900e’s appearance.
A sleek front fairing seamlessly connects to a new fuel tank, mimicking a monocoque design. At the rear, a bespoke tail section integrates LED lights, while a handcrafted belly pan accommodates the exhaust header. Chun fabricated the exhaust system from titanium, leading to a single aftermarket muffler beneath the tail.
Kingsman Seat upholstered a stunning solo saddle, complementing the whole aesthetic. Suspension upgrades include Ohlins shock absorbers and Ducati Monster forks. Brembo brakes from a 1098 enhance stopping power, paired with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa tires.
The cockpit boasts a Motogadget dial and clip-on handlebars, while Aella rear-mounted foot pegs, a new clutch module, and a premium steering damper complete the package.
