The Mod Dam 1199 R (Thai: มดดำ 'Black Ant', pronounced [mód.dām] (
listen) is a custom high-performance scooter with an output of 202 hp, which was built by Mario Kleff in Thailand in 2016.[1] Its shape and dimensions are based on a Honda Grom or Honda MSX 125, which is powered by an air-cooled two-valve engine with 9 hp.[2] Mod Dam 1199 R, also known as the Honda MSX 1199, features a 73.1 cu in (1,198 cc) liquid-cooled 4-valve / cyl. Desmodromic 90 ° L-Twin engine from Ducati 1199.[3]
Background
Honda introduced a new motorcycle in 2013, the Honda Grom, (known as MSX125 in Europe and East Asia), which has become one of the most popular, original and custom mini bikes on the market.[4][5] Later manufactured in Thailand, the Honda MSX 125 formed a mini bike culture with numerous custom versions being featured on motorcycle shows, racetracks and social media platforms.[6] Mario Kleff, a passionate motorcycle builder from Thailand,[7] transformed a Honda MSX into a high-performance scooter with a 202 hp motorcycle engine and technological advances in motorcycle safety - Mod Dam 1199 R or Honda MSX 1199 caught fire due to a leaking fuel line and was destroyed.[8]

Custom
The development of the Mod Dam 1199 R includes bespoke parts and modifications of the engine as well as the motorcycle frame, which, like the swingarm, was made of titanium. Two aluminum radiators were attached to the front and back of the motorcycle. The front suspension and wheel had to be modified to carry additional weight and to install a double disc Anti-lock braking system (ABS) with Brembo radial monobloc calipers.[11] The Panigale's electrical system was used on the Mod Dam 1199 R. Body panels, fender and fuel cell were replaced by carbon fiber and aluminum parts. The idea of developing a minibike with a high-performance Ducati Superquadro engine was realized and inspired the international motorcycle scene.[12][13]
