British custom shop Pit Lane Moto has transformed a 2005 Ducati Multistrada 1000S DS into a café racer dubbed the "Desmo Corridore Caffè." The build strips the original touring bodywork, swaps in a fuel tank from a Ducati 749, rebuilds the Öhlins suspension front and rear, and exposes the dry clutch with gold hardware for the finish.

I judge every new bike on whether it'll be builder material in five years, and I never expected a Multistrada to transform like this. Grafting on a 749 tank takes real measuring and instinct — you'd have to be in the shop to appreciate it. That exposed dry clutch is stunning too.

What did you think?

Looks like storage capacity got sacrificed for the styling

Long-distance comfort looks rough after this build, but it's satisfying to just look at

Grafting on that 749 tank must have taken serious fitment work

Basing a build off a Multistrada is unusual, but this one's a clear win

Are donor bikes like this easy to find used?

That exposed dry-clutch finish is stunningly good
