William Hendrix's Ducati PS1000r 4v

As always, click on images to see the full-size versions.

A Very Custom Ducati PS1000r 4v 

Long time roadracer and architect William Hendrix (HENDRIX-STUDIO RACING) has been hanging around the racetracks and building racebikes for decades and is a longtime friend of Rob's brother Russell.  Hailing from Bethesda, MD, he emailed us to see if we could produce some decals for a project he's been working on for several years.  That was not a problem and several rounds of emails and proofs got everything figured out.


William was nervous about installing that circular front number plate due to the spherical nature of that nose fairing, asked us if we would install it, we said yes, and he made arrangements to trailer the bike all the way to Holly Springs.  That's 300 miles each way!  He did, we did, and the bike is beautiful, loud, and proud!

William's testimonial: "Thanks again Rob for the attention to detail and the professional service, this project would not be complete without the perfect graphics!"

Below the pics you will find this Ducati's story and a link to his website if you want to see and learn even more about his creation. 


2020 Ducati PS1000r 4V:

Inspired by the 1972 Imola winning Ducati 750 race bike, the PS1000 4v artfully combines a liquid cooled testastetta 998cc power plant with Paul Smart replica bodywork to create an entirely new classic bike. Every design consideration was made to integrate the most from the engine and chassis of the 2007 Monster 24RS and unite it with the 2007 Moto ST race series bodywork. Subtle and overt modifications were made to many parts and assemblies of the bike to make the result look purposeful, timeless, and ready to race. The frame, bodywork, tank, cooling system, electronics, and suspension were optimized to create the subtle but striking solution designed for the most experienced riders who expect the best in terms of performance and feel.

Designed to set new standards for the Paul Smart concept with the application of Ducati race inspired history, the components are interchangeable and upgradable with many Ducati Performance parts, which makes a flexible race/track day bike that in a historic race winning tradition.
