With the launch of the Ducati 1098 (and now the 1198) the company reversed its Superbike slide that befell it as a result of the controversially styled 999 range. The result is great success but many more Ducati Superbikes around than ever before which has blunted their exclusivity. In addition the styling is safe after [...]
UPDATE. The photo of the design study has been removed. Ducati is expected to introduce a substantially updated premier Superbike model for the 2011 model year given that the 4 year old 1098 / 1198 design is starting to struggle in the World Superbike arena. We don’t know what it will look like but this [...]
It may not be as absurd as it first sounds. Afterall, KTM makes the X-Bow, so why not a lightweight sports car powered by a V8 based on two Ducati Desmosedici RR engines!! Young designer Anthony Collard imagined this hardcore 2-seater in a recent automotive design competition.
The Ducati Desmosedicic RR was nice but the 990cc V4 is obsolete and never won a MotoGP championship. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a replica of the bike Casey Stoner took to victory in 2007? You know, the 800cc über screamer. When MotoGP switches back to the big 1,000cc machines in 2012, we may [...]
There is much speculation (including on Ducati News Today) about the combination of Ducati and Valentino Rossi in MotoGP for 2011. If you combine this with the talents of Italian designer, Oberdan Bezzi, you get this pre-imagining of his dream team.
Ducati are on a roll lately. They followed up the disastrous 999 with the smash hit 1098, revamped the Monster line and have just launched the Streetfighter not to mention updating the 1098 to the 1198. And they’re not finished yet. A highly anticipated Adventure tourer / Multistrada replacement dubbed the Strada Aperta (Open Road) [...]
Julien Lecointe has a passion for motorcycles that he combines with his talent for drawing to create a number of works that should appeal to Ducati fans.
Prolific motorcycle designer Oberdan Bezzi is at it again! This time he has envisioned a bike to make the Yamaha V-Max wilt and the Ducati Streetfighter cower. Bring on the V-4 Ducati Desmofighter!
Oberdan Bezzi is an Italian designer with a particular passion for motorcycles. His spectacular modern interpretation of the classic TT1&2 racers, the Ducati TT1000, is a stunningly beautiful motorcycle.
