Ducati News Today

Whilst clicking around on the New Zealand equivalent of eBay (trademe), I came across this very optimistic listing for a used 2010 Ducati 1198R Corse SE. The price? $1,000,000. No its not April 1st.

Back to Classics has a fully restored Ducati 900 Mike Hailwood Replica for sale.

The Ducati that makes our heart beat fastest here at Ducati News Today is the very first 4-valve Ducati, the 851. Less pretty than the stunning Tamburini 916 that followed in 1994, the most desirable ones are the limited edition SP models that acted to homologate the racers that Raymond Roche and Doug Polen campaigned.

Absolute magic, Fun all the Way!! A nice review of the 1974 Ducati 250 Desmo single from Don Hall. He concludes that Dr Taglioni created a jewel of a motorcycle. Video after the jump.

Talk about a once in a lifetime chance, here is probably the only 2001 Ducati 996R in existence that can genuinely be claimed to be new. This machine was prepared for storage when it was sold to its current owner and has never been fueled or started and been housed inside its whole life. Here [...]
