Young Guns Speed Shop is a seemingly small yet beautiful shop and atelier out of Switzerland that focuses on building bikes the way they were meant to be built. We could spend ages talking about all of their incredible creations, but the one that particularly caught our eye was the bike they built when Ducati came calling. What started as a Ducati 2016 Monster 1200 R became the Ducati Pandora, a hybrid somewhere between a GP bike and cafe racer that’s inspired by sport bikes of the 70’s while also being incredibly modern. It might be powered by an 1198 Twin Testastretta engine outputting 152hp and 125nm of torque–which is absolutely impressive in its own right–but the overall design with its unique rear frame, fiberglass monocoque seat and tank is what really widens the gap between the Pandora creation and your average 2016 Ducati Monster. If you want a Ducati unlike any other, this is the bike you want in your garage.
