VELOCE READERS' RIDES #31967 Ducati MR348 � Caf� Canadiano

Thanks to Kevin Brown from Canada for sending us these fantastic images of his Caf� Racer creation, which started out as a 350cc Ducati Sebring. Kevin renamed it a 348 to align with Ducati�s current naming practices.

The MR stands for �Modern Retro� because of some modern enhancements as well as maintaining some of the �old� technology. The Retro also refers to the bullet-shaped brake lighting system.
