We were doubly impressed when Casey Stoner won at his home MotoGP on the Ducati Desmosedici GP9 last year at Phillip Island, Australia. Not only was the victory an emphatic one after his absence from competition due to what later was realized to be lactose intolerance, he did it in style with a special white [...]
Ducati is set to radically overhaul their flagship Superbike for 2012. The new model will likely feature a monocoque chassis with a shorter wheelbase and a longer swing arm. An all new, but still V-twin engine with a much shorter stroke will rev higher for more power and have its cams turned by gears rather [...]
The Ducati Streetfighter is the only current model in the range to use the 1,099cc L-twin as the rest of the 4-valve Ducatis now use a variant of the larger 1198 twin.

While Ducatisti debate whether Ducati should even build the power cruiser known internally as Project 0803 and by names like Vyper and Mega Monster in the press, the company clearly intends to formally unveil its latest creation later this year in Milan.

Pierre Terblanche is no longer working for Ducati (to the huge relief of many) but is now plying his designer’s trade over at Moto Guzzi. Recently he spoke on the new Ducati Multistrada 1200 from his perspective of designer of the original air-cooled Multistrada 1100.
Ducati has revealed the new Ducati 848EVO for the first time at Laguna Seca, the site for this weekend’s US MotoGP. The all black Dark model has a black frame, swingarm and engine cases and is the bargain of the Superbike range.
Sometimes progress is a beautiful thing. In 2006, it cost $17,995 to buy the 140bhp Ducati 999 that weighed 410lb dry. Next month, you will be able to buy the New Ducati 848EVO, which delivers that same 140bhp in a package with 41 less pounds to lumber around for a much superior experience. And the [...]
Italy’s MotoSprint has snagged the best shot yet of the new Ducati Power Cruiser AKA Mega Monster AKA Vyper.
