When Ducati set out to build the 1199 – the most extreme superbike it could envisage – it did everything but address the bad ideaat its core. With good reason. The firm’s L-twin engine layout is one of many examples of the rationally wrong ways of doing things that have characterised so many of our most- loved bikes...more

Desmo notes is a webpage on Ducati.com where you can go to download Ducati motor music files, ringtones and SMS tones. Listen to each Ducati model and choose the ones you prefer (it's fun)
Per Ducati:
"A symphony of pistons and connecting rods moving to the rhythm of the L-twin cylinder: THAT is the unmistakable Ducati sound!
For each model you have four different roars to listen to or download.
Some sounds are only available after signing up on the Ducati website."

...spend a few days days at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. If the mountain itself doesn't serve up a healthy dose of humility, its heroic inhabitants surely will. Pikes is one of those places that feels overly dangerous, even to a mild speed demon like me. Guardrails seem to appear only when the drop-offs hit four figures. Every turn reveals a laundry list of conditions that would warrant a permanent closure anywhere else. The road changes from paved to dirt and back, snaking up the mountain like a trick question.
And we would experience it in all its twisted glory.......more

Of the many competitors we met at Pikes Peak, not one seemed cocky about being there. Some were more humble than others, but all projected a sober respect for the mountain. They're all seasoned racers. In past lives, though, maybe big wave surfers. Or astronauts...
ALL DAY LONG drivers and riders cross the finish line in regular intervals and accumulate at the summit, talking to the media, reliving their runs, enjoying some famous Pikes Peak donuts. And by the end of the day there's a palpable energy in the thin air — a celebration that culminates with a parade down the mountain, each of the class winners carrying a well-earned checkered flag. High-fiving the fans lining the course...more

Have you ever lain in bed, arithmetic running riot in your head? I have. It has happened to me regularly. You see, in automotive journalism, there is a catch. You can’t own it. Almost always the vehicles you want are not within your reach, and because you drive and ride vehicles far beyond your reach, you can never emotionally accept settling for a vehicle that is actually well within your means. This means you are left calculating what your income is, what you can spare off it, what EMI that becomes and how you will fuel and service the motorcycle. It is probably the same with cars, but I’ve never thought like this about a car. I just knew I would never be able to buy a Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet from the moment I cast eyes upon her, er, it....more

Tire pressure is a critical "setting" for any bike, on the street or on the track. At the track, motorcycle tires and their pressures can be used like any other adjustment on your bike to change your bike's handling characteristics. If you need a little more grip, drop the pressure in the rear. If you want longer life, run a little more pressure. So long as you're within the tire manufacturers' suggested pressure ranges, "tuning" tires to your liking is just another tool in your riding arsenal....More

The Ducati Monster is one of the best-selling motorcycles of recent years. But it isn’t the easiest bike to customize. This one, a 1996 model that’ll be featured in the next issue of Italian Motor Magazine, shows what can be done: it was inspired by 1970s racing Ducatis, and was built to a tight budget in a garden shed. The most expensive parts are the Öhlins shock and the Keihin carbs, which the London-based owner financed by selling his daily ride. ”Everything else was bought slowly over two years—a mix of new, used, converted and fabricated parts. I wanted to keep the project simple and achievable, because I’d never taken a bike to bits before, never mind put one back together!”

A few weeks ago when we introduced you to his project, the drawings were all we could see.

Giordano Loi "ERKY"
The thought of re-interpret an icon like the Monster tickled me for some time. At Ducati, the idea of renewing their top-selling and timeless should have cold sweat ... how do you renew without changing a comma? People who buy a Monster, want a monster! A naked bike, clean and simple in its forms, where each would exercise in style at odds with the very identity that distinguishes this model. I had no pressure of any kind, other than those dictated by my common sense, I believe should be taken into basic idea as the bike naked, simple, but avoid falling into caricature. The name "Monster Ages" for me, too squeezes the eye to marketing, I think it is more reasonable to give a different name to a son, who celebrate itself with the call to keep the substance Jr ... acquiring a new identity. This raises the project Erky.... More (many photos, original text in Italian)

The Ducati 900ss was originally released in 1975 and was paired with a sister 750cc model, interestingly the 1975 bikes used a right-foot gear shift despite recent US regulations which stipulated that all motorcycles use left-foot shifters.
To this day, the 900SS is one of the most iconic Ducatis ever produced and seems to embody the spirit of faired, 70′s sport bikes more than any other.

Ducati Multistrada 1200 owners embraced their spirit for adventure recently, with a 10-day experience of a lifetime in Borneo.
The event, held for the first-time, offered Ducati Multistrada 1200 owners an incredible 2,000km ride, freedom, exploration and spirit of camaraderie as they made their way from Kuching, Sarawak to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
More than 30 riders, consisting of Ducati Multistrada owners, guests, media and staff of Next Bike (Ducati Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, the official distributor for Ducati in Malaysia, successfully completed the epic journey which saw them traverse urban roads, remote wastelands, rugged mountain passes and the endless rural roads of Borneo, all the while aboard their Ducati bikes.... more
