From pioneering performance to groundbreaking design and innovation that brought motorcycles to the masses, check out these top picks for the most influential motorcycles ever built.
Every motorcycle aficionado has ideas when it comes to naming the most important bikes ever built, and Somer Hooker is no exception. Hooker is a vintage bike broker with over 25 years in the business and he is also Chief Judge at the Celebration of the Motorcycle event in Del Mar, California. The HVA worked with Hooker to modify the current Preservation Award judging criteria to recognize preservation-class motorcycles...
The HVA Motorcycle Preservation Award will be presented at two shows in 2013. Click here to check out the list of judging criteria. But before you do, take a look at Hooker’s shortlist of the five most important motorcycles from the last 70 years.

We like this list and think it's a pretty fair evaluation. Click HERE for the story on the HVA website

The satisfaction for the return to the scene is so palpable that even the bad weather in Jerez did lose the smile Francis Batta . The last test before boarding the Ducati Panigale on the flight to Australia is going up in smoke but what counts is to be there again. The Batta and Alstare have returned. To win.

I’ve made this comparison before, but Radical Ducati is to motorcycles what Skunk Works is to aircraft. The Spanish garage has been taking stock Ducatis and turning them into two wheeled missiles for years now and as such they’ve earned a deserved reputation as the single greatest custom Ducati garage in the world....

For an American, Ben Spies really loves Italy. He raced in, and won, the 2009 WSBK championship with an Italian team, and resides for most of the year in Como. So what better place could there be to get his career back on track than Ducati?
Read more: http://www.gpone.com/index.php/en/201301179187/Spies-I-chose-Ducati-with-my-heart.html#ixzz2IMeEbRw9.
Vicki Smith for Ducati.net's insight:
We really love this interview for a lot of reasons - it's important to love Italy if you race for Ducati (yea,yea, it's a German company now, but it's soul remains Italian) And he's taking the man up approach to a number of things. Ben Spies didn't just wash up on Ducati's beach. Worth a read.

You can imagine the gasps of disbelief when Ducati unveiled its GP13 atop a mountain in the Dolomites last night: the bike is pretty much a GP12 with a new paintjob. How can that be? Surely the Ducati needs a total redesign more than any other motorcycle on the MotoGP grid?

Bernhard Gobmeier isn't the only new name appearing in the Ducati organogram. Paolo Ciabatti, former head of the WSBK project for the Italian manufacturer and director of that same championship for Infront, has returned to Borgo Panigale to help relaunch their MotoGP program. As already disclosed by Gobmeier, the GP13 will not be a revolutionary motorcycle. But why decide to start to start the season with a bike that is essentially identical to the one from 2012, a year in which the results weren't satisfactory?

Vicki Smith for Ducati.net's insight:
It's so nice to have Paolo Ciabatti back with Ducati. His ability to bridge the gap between what the team is doing and what the public and the media needs to know is unparelled.
