The Redux series is all about bringing back blasts from the past that our newer readers may not have caught first time around. This bike could only have been built in New Zealand, a nation known for getting things done with what is available. So to a Kiwi, turning a Ducati 999 Superbike into a [...]
Funny how things go. Last week, we brought back a post in our Redux series about a factory Ducati 999F06 that was raced in the BSB by Gregorio Lavilla. Well it turns out to be for sale once again. You can check out the eBay auction here (the starting bid is $65,000) and see some [...]
Two years ago we brought you the opportunity to buy your own genuine Factory Ducati Superbike. Not an R model, not an RS, but a genuine World Superbike spec factory Ducati 999F06 as raced in the BSB from the days when the BSB machines were just as trick as the bikes in the World Superbike [...]
I thought it would be fun to bring back some posts from earlier in the year that were popular and/or generated significant debate. Following my tirade against the Ducati 999, I thought of a great idea for an April Fool’s prank, the return of the 999 in Limited Edition Form!

Ducati has announced the return of the controversial 999 Superbike today in the form of the limited edition 999LE. Just 999 examples will be manufactured in a special ‘Imola Platinum’ color scheme, each individually signed by designer Pierre Terblanche.
I thought it would be fun to bring back a couple of articles from earlier in the year that were popular and/or generated significant debate. After coming across an article on Visordown on ‘How the 1098 Saved Ducati’, I decided to write a longer and more in-depth article on more or less the same subject [...]
Ducati is a raging success story combining an iconic brand, a rich competition history and accessible V-twin performance draped in gorgeous Italian design. But not so long ago, Ducati was in trouble.
