We’ve had lots of Ducati vs super car video comparisons on our site. Whether it be 1198S vs Ferrari or Panigale vs Porsche the bikes are always faster around a track than you’d think and the cars nail the bike when outright speed is the key to success. This time its a drag race. Zero to [...]
Recently Team SBK Ducati Alstare showed off their very factory looking Ducati 1199 Panigale World Superbike livery. The new team will be hoping that riders Carlos Checa and Aryton Badovini will be competitive once the season begins.

Putting a Ducati into a music video is always a good idea and choosing a 1974 Ducati 750SS is a great one. That’s what Australian quintet Dappled Cities chose for their music video for ‘Run with the Wind’, a single from their forthcoming fourth studio album. Pity about what happens at around the 3:52 mark.
Ducati’s massive World Ducati Week 2012 got under way yesterday with thousands of riders from all over the world arriving at the Italian manufacturer’s mega-event at the Misano World Circuit in Misano Adriatico. Carlos Checa got a chance to test the World Superbike spec Ducati 1199 Panigale.
