Simone Conti is not a professional builder. Currently the Italian works in his family’s ceramic filter business, and wrenches in the evenings in his brother’s workshop. Simone (Simone Conti Motorcycles or SCM) finished six builds so far and now is working on four other projects. He’s built this Ducati SuperSport 1000 DS 2003 for himself. Originally, he planned to create a classic café racer, but in the process of creating sketches something went wrong and it turned into the futuristic café racer.
