  Ducati Australia has announced a new capacity Monster being introduced exclusively for the Australian market and the Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme (LAMs).

RocketGarage is our new favorite blog after we discovered it recently. They cover motorcycle specials with plenty of Ducati content. One of their latest is this Ducati TT2 Special.

I got all excited about singles again after our story on Richard Felkin’s Ducati Supermono 2.0. So I decided to remind us all of another modern take on the Supermono that first surfaced in 2009. Alistair Wager has personally worked on 20 of the 67 original Supermonos that were built and thought Ducati should have [...]

A new video game developed by Ducati and Digital Tales will be released in May for Apple’s iPhone, iPad and Sony’s PSP. The game allows players to ride the most powerful models in Ducati’s 2011 line up including the Monster, Hypermotard, Diavel, Multistrada, Streetfighter and Superbike.

The team have had a positive winter of pre-season testing since the end of last season as both riders target a maiden title.
