Now I've made one,” Rossi told Sport Rider magazine.

For some time now I have considered the use of carbon fibre on many custom motorcycles as being rather clichéd. Ducati were one of the manufacturers who jumped on the carbon fibre band wagon a few years back by adding a multitude of bolt on carbon parts to their accessories range. Currently they have around 140 carbon accessories available on their site most of which have a dress up purpose rather than functional. Luckily UK workshop Made in Metal had grander plans than simply looking good when they started their latest carbon covered Ducati 900SS custom.

If you are an avid motorcycle enthusiast, then you will no doubt recognize, “The Da Vinci Racer,” motorcycle that we are listing for sale in our No Reserve Auction today. On August 28th, 2012, this motorcycle broke the 1000a-ag speed record at the, “Bonneville Salt Flats” by over 16 mph.“Leonardo Da Vinci” ……a man with unquenchable curiosity and a feverishly inventive personality is widely considered to be the most diversely talented person to ever have lived.
Carl and Mark from, “Super-Rat Motorcycles”, located in Bellingham, WA, worked tirelessly on, “The Da Vinci Racer” to create a work or art worthy of its namesake.
While this motorcycle may bear a resemblance to its Ducati relatives, I can assure that virtually every component on this bike is either highly modified or hand made.
If either Leonardo or the Ducati Factory were to try and build a competitive, “Land Speed Racer”, they would have a hard time competing with the one that Super-Rat has already assembled.

Ducati will have a "Junior team" in 2013 MotoGP comprised of American Ben Spies and Andrea "Crazy Joe" Iannone.
It is expected that Spies and Iannone will receive essentially the same motorcycles as factory Ducati riders Nick Hayden and Andrea Dovisioso--at least initially.
This is a remarkable change for Ducati's MotoGP effort as prior to this most satellite Ducati MotoGP teams were referred to--internally--as "the spare parts teams". Motorcycles were not always, or not ever, depending on the team/rider, on the same level as the factory Ducati motoGP bikes.

Lawyers: Texas comptroller committed state funds to MotoGP race
State Comptroller Susan Combs last year committed more than $40 million from a state events trust fund to a MotoGP race planned at the Circuit of the Americas in southeastern Travis County, according to attorneys for motorcycling legend Kevin Schwantz.
The $4.6 million a year for 10 years — which had previously been unreported — is in addition to a controversial $250 million in state funds that Combs appeared to commit to attract Formula One to the circuit, Schwantz’s attorneys claim.

When Ducati Marlboro's Valentino Rossi sat down to talk with the Italian media following yet another disappointing result in the Australian Grand Prix, there was no talk of the race. Instead he spoke about the future of Ducati without him and his own future at Yamaha.
What the Italian media wanted to know was who would be fastest on the Ducati? The candidates are current rider Nicky Hayden, Monster Yamaha Tech 3's Andrea Dovizioso, Speed Master's Andrea Iannone, and Yamaha's Ben Spies. Spies was immediately ruled out of the discussion because of his injury. The Texan will miss not only the post-Valencia test, but also a three-day Ducati test at the end of November.
