"Earlier this year, Ducati launched its Monster 795 (chassis of a 696, engine of 796) in India, deliberately chosen for its light weight and low height - and aimed squarely at India's female biker."

When Ducati announced the updates for its 2013 Multistrada 1200 lineup, the Italian manufacturer was surprisingly quiet about the line’s most notable upgrade, the Ducati Skyhook Suspension. All we were told was the system is a semi-active suspension using Sachs components that adjusts its damping settings to varying riding conditions.
Ducati has now provided more information about the DSS technology which will be standard equipment on the three “S” versions of the Multistrada 1200, the Touring model, the sportier Pikes Peak model and the new flagship Granturismo model.

Dorna issued the 2013 provisional schedule Friday, Sept. 21, verifying the picture that former Grand Prix star Loris Capirossi tweeted Thursday night, Sept. 20.
The changes in the schedule have been detailed in other notes at Soup, but one fact is worthy of mention and analysis: Nine of the 19 events in the "world" championship are concentrated in just three countries, Spain, Italy and the United States.

Another complicated race day for the Althea Racing team today at the ‘Autodromo Internacional do Algarve’.
In race 1 Carlos Checa rode a great race to take his first podium since Brno while Davide Giugliano was robbed of his chance to do well after a collision early on in the race forced him to retire. In the second of the day’s races Giugliano was once again unlucky, suffering from presumed tyre problems while Checa was able to bounce back after a technical issue in the early stages to cross the line fifth.
After two hot and sunny days the Superbike paddock awoke to heavy rain and poor visibility on the Portimao track. After only a fifteen minute warm-up, the riders had little time to prepare for racing in these conditions.

Having already dropped Sylvain Guintoli and Jakub Smrz from its rider line-up, Effenbert Liberty Ducati has now given Maxime Berger his marching orders...
Effenbert Liberty Racing will complete the 2012 World Superbike Championship season with not one of the three riders it began the year with after announcing Maxime Berger has been dropped from its team.
The Frenchman was the only remaining member of Effenbert Liberty's original three rider line-up after Sylvain Guintoli was dropped ahead of Brno and Jakub Smrz was released at the Nurburgring, but with two events of the 2012 season still to go, Berger is also out of the team.
