Cafe Racer (Ducati 996 by Jaron Hall) 

Thank you so much for featuring my bike!! I’m honored 👍🏼

Saving a bike from some one elses poor choices is always a good thing. It isn't what I would have done, 996 being a dream bike I would've restored it, but I can appreciate his efforts. It sounds lovely though.

Jaron has resurrected the mistreated 996 ha ha. Seriously this is a great build because he returned the beauty and grace to the Ducati. I couldn't imagine why anyone would want to turn a 996 into a scrambler, but if they didn't do this we wouldn't see Jarons' Kool Kaff kreation . Nice one dude.Ten out of ten.Thanks for the inspiration.

Not only a rescue …. A reborn ….. your introduction was excellent …. 👌 Congratulations for The techno look very insidiously !! 🫡

Was für ein schönes Moped....der Sound ist einfach Klasse..... Respekt vor der Arbeit..

I can imagine Jaron saying to himself "Well...I can't make it any worse! WTF, let's do this!"

He has truly created the Ducati Monster that Ducati should be building 😉👍!

Its very nice build its winner in my book

Marvelous. And fantastic story. My big congratulations, Jaron Hall. I vividly remember Mitch Witkamp and his BMW. I loved. Great video and great work, thank you

I have to admit initially wanting to hate this but having seen the starting point of the project and listening to the story behind it I had my predudice changed. Good work RacerTV and good work Mr. Hall.

fine build!….and exceptionally executed …and great story of tenacity and resourcefulness… thanks again!

Thank you Jaron & Vitor for charing this beautiful Ducati 🤩

Well done Jaron, beautiful bike 😍 and thanks to Racer TV to share 👍

Excellent video Victor, as always. Jaron has done an outstanding job giving the 996 a new life, amazing work . Ride safe and take care mate. Cheers

Impressive project!

BEAUTIFULL!!!!!

This turned out to be a very nice bike! His work was really amazing. And, as always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café Racers only choice! I hope you are having a great week! Ride safe my friend! Cheers:)

Hermosa motocicleta, gran video. Gracias por compartir.

Another excellent vid about another excellent build.

Como amante da marca e feliz proprietário duma, achei este projeto simplesmente espetacular , especialmente feito por um amador. Boas curvas. Abraço.

What an amazing story... 🤩 When you listen that sound on the road, you know it's an happy ending one.

Great Home Build

This Ducati is a beautiful mc. My first motorcycle at 16 was a Cativa Mito the little brother

Nice to see a Home Built Cafe Racer Vitor What was the first guy thinking ! Jaron you did a fantastic job and built a beautiful cafe racer, Well Done !

What a beautiful finish from that so called scrambler. And a lot of unique approaches. Congratulations to Jaron. And a sound, that has no competition for me. Thank you as always Victor.

Wow! Very impressive!

Congratulations!

Boa noite,mais uma iniciativa boa de se ver.Gostei das luzes de freio na altura das pedaleiras uma ótima solução.Obrigado.

Wow! Its beautifull bike

Great story and motorcycle, fine job to save a previous disaster, that said; this is one of the very few cases that I prefer the stock bike over the modified one, nice presentation Victor, as always!

If you look a 996 engine to work around the better choice is a ST4s. Respect for work and also for this iconic bike (was)

Obrigado por mais um video incrivel meu amigo.

Nice😊😊

素晴らしい！good job!!

Lovely cafe racer. Functional and pleasing to the eye.

Very nice work! It's rare to see this type of exhaust on a 996 👍It might also be interesting to go into more of a streetfighter direction without the round headlight and tail. Food for thought for all ye customizers out there 😁

Great bike.

Thanks

Nice bike.

Obra de arte e bom gosto!!!😮

Love the subtle humor 😂

Beautiful

Love it...

Always Watching Sir❤😊

Jaron made her so pretty and clean!! Cannot handle silly nobby tires on a road bike idea, always looks terrible

Jason should consider a job change, this looks and sounds very good👍🏻😃

Sweet.....

Beautiful project, thanks ❤🍺🍻

Incrivel.

"Highly modified" is quite the leap.

Όμορφη μηχανή καταπληκτική αφήγηση στην παρουσίαση του βίντεο έχει μια ηρεμία η φωνη

O som da embreagem dessas motos é inconfundível... Nunca tive a oportunidade de ver pessoalmente e nem estudado o funcionamento dessa embreagem, mas o som já faz parte da marca. Que bom que salvaram essa moto.

Lovely! But might be even better with a higher scrambler like handlebar ;) Very cool your idea with the matrix introduction!

Que trabalho fantástico, no início do vídeo fiquei com dúvidas, do pq de ter alterado uma mota tão icónica, qd podias simplesmente ter uma Monster. Mas ao continuar a ver, percebi facilmente o pq. Muitos parabéns ao dono e ao canal por nos dar a conhecer este projectos/paixões fenomenais. Abraço 🇨🇭🇵🇹, cordialemente, Pedro Silv@

Electrics and the battery location must have been the biggest problem. The Ducati - with all its hoses and wires running cris-cross, normally covered up by the fairing - is a beast to turn into a cafe racer and will never look as "clean" as other bikes where the technical stuff is more hidden by the factory, let alone air cooled bikes. Jaron did an amazing job and is rewarded with a unique bike that is great in its own class. And best of all: Despite the changes the bike still must be fun and efficient to ride, as geometry, suspension and the ergos have not been tampered with. Are there any informations about the change in overall weight?

a ex-collegue from coal-mining was driven a ducati i ask him for a short ride : NNNNOOOOOOOOO , he was very proud of italian product movies or tv episodes are "Nothing special" plus far away from real-time life !!! 😁

🦁🎩❤️

Ducati l twins r the best choice for cafe racer projects, that sexy traillis frame along with that sexy l twin engine with those exposed timing belts and those exposed dry clutch plate assemblies.❤❤

Defiling a Work of Art lol Nice build though.

the 996 is a masterpiece. it doesnt need to be cafeed. the yamaha virago on the other hand need to be caferacer to look good.

heresy xV ok, he didn't cut the stock bike, well that's a relief

Those tkc 80 are Q speed rated... So 99 mph for an hour straight, untill catastrophic failure.

1080p now. nice

How can I report Mr Hall to the relevant authorities?

Just wondering but.. do you search people and contact them to showcase their projects or do they contact you?

Don't get me wrong but I found the tank so short. But I understand that it is a limitation imposed by the original design. Happens to me with my Bajaj Pulsar 200NS. A tank should attract attention due to its shape and size, however, having said the above, it is a work of Christian charity to get that poor Ducati out of that state of shame. Who would think of making a scrambler with a sport bike? Simply put, the wheels she had just looked horrible; without omitting the type of engine inappropriate for going out on an unpaved road or in the open field. At the time of the inquisition, this blasphemer of design would have been sentenced to flogging and he deserved it. The work done by Jaron on this bike, especially on the rear, is simply spectacular and recovers the dignity and greatness of this bike from the great Bologna brand

Na verdade, ela estava perdida. 👍

The chinese cheap parts is what’s killing it

Anyone spot where the battery went?

I think the only justification for this is that in the fast bike community, an sbk is only valued for being super. Except for some rare bikes like the inline6ers & Britten's, getting overshadowed by modern fast bikes loses some of its value. Kind of sad because in the car community, even older&slower yesteryear fast cars in similar 996 context like european CLKGTRs/F40s, american fordGT ,and japanese evos/skylines, are appreciated. Imo, no amount of narrative can excuse the fact this is an f40 on 2 wheels and this should not have been hacked unless it was for a faster track spec project.

Not a fan. The 996 is a design masterpiece and should not be altered.

As someone who owned a 996, and has built many custom Ducati, with fabricated parts, I’m a little disappointed that he put a lot of energy in some aspects, but ignored key components. He could have easily chose to highlight the V-Twin belt pulleys, by exposing them. The lower fork clamps and clip-on handlebars should have been replaced with black cnc parts. It’s too bad he chose cheap bar end mirrors, when Rizoma has plenty of mirrors that are much cleaner in design. And lastly, it would have been a good idea to cut off the fairing mount tabs to clean up the bike frame from unnecessary bolts to fill holes. Otherwise the concept is good. But maybe a 7 out of 10 for this channel.

It's not a Ducati, it's a custom using a 996 as starting model... I think it's diffucult if not impossible making the bike better than it was.. in fact it's not.. it's another bike.. r.i.p to the 996 sacrificed...

I've never finished one of these films due to the AI voice.

Immatriculation, rétroviseurs ?

I support anyone who doesn't follow the herd and does their own thing - but the previous owner definitely needs to give himself an uppercut, in the same manner as that idiot who mounted a 996 on his wall. This bike? Honestly? It looks like someone dropped his bike and turned it into a half-baked frankenbike because he couldn't afford replacement fairings - the front end is too messy because the controls, cabling, radiator and other whatnots were designed to be hidden - and the proportions are all wrong to my eyes. It still bears the indelible arse-in-the-air stance of its heritage and if one wanted to call it a cafe racer you'd be wrong - it's unarguably a street fighter both in spirit and execution. I suppose given the history of the bike it was a "sensible" idea and it turned into a pretty cool project nonetheless IF you ignore the 996's historical cachet. But I can't help but feel that the end result is less accomplished than it could have been - it strives to be a boutique build but doesn't quite manage it and thus sits in limbo because the bike, being a 996, deserves a full restoration whereas it ends up looking like an unfinished poor man's hack job.

pessima idea quella dell'ex proprietario ma è stata altrettanto pessima l'idea di Jaron, ci sono motociclette che sono immortali e dovrebbero rimanere tali nella loro originalità, mi dispiace ma non mi piace assolutamente questo progetto.

“He’s not a professional builder” No shit Sherlock!

Nice build but not Beautiful

personally, it is ugly and looks cheap, I prefer the original appearance.

Nope……. Just noooooope…..
