The countdown to World Ducati Week 2012 starts now!
Announced during Ducati’s recent model year 2012 Press Conference and Milan International Motorcycle Show, the long-awaited dates and location for the World Ducati Week 2012 event are now confirmed for passionate Ducati fans all over the world as 21-24 June, 2012 at the circuit of Misano in Italy.
First organised in 1998, WDW successfully brought together ‘Ducatisti’ from all over the world to celebrate their shared passion for the legendary Italian-made motorcycles. The event has since attracted an ever-increasing attendance of people who enjoy the high-powered fun and community spirit of the iconic brand, with a record-breaking attendance of 60,000 fans from 5 continents and 28 countries recorded at the last event in 2010.
WDW2012 is sure to follow the tried and tested formula of race track events, shows, top riders, competitions and great music all combined with the incredible atmosphere created by thousands of motorcycles arriving from all around the globe.
As the event’s massive attendance is sure to invade the entire Riviera Romagnola, Ducati’s WDW2012 organisation has enjoyed the close cooperation and special partnership of authorities such as the Province of Rimini, Municipality of Misano, Municipality of Cattolica, Municipality of Riccione and the Republic of San Marino. Continued cooperation with the Leardini Group has also underlined the region’s Misano circuit venue as the ‘theatre’ for WDW, an event further supported by APT Emilia Romagna, promoting a region of Italy famously known as ‘Motor Valley’.
Ducati offer further information at wdw.ducati.com.

Thought we would share this nice photo of Mike McGeachy's 250 he sent us today. Taken at El Mirage dry lake at the season finale for land speed racing. It ran 121 mph it's first time out, not bad for a '66 Ducati 250.

Like the F042, the Pierobon X60R features an air-cooled Ducati v-twin power plant, and the tuning firm’s own proprietary chassis design. There are plenty of performance parts and carbon fiber to drool over, and the design strikes as one that would have occurred had Ducati made a true air-cooled sportbike. With Pierbon’s extensive experience in the racing scene, we can imagine how much fun an X60R would be on the track, we’ll just have to wait and see if a street model also makes a debut. If you’re a Ducatista and want to stand out from the cappuccino crowd, there are some photos after the jump that might interest you.... http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/pierobon-x60r-xmas-list-longer/

MotoGP versus F1 on Yahoo! Eurosport UK. Separated by two wheels and a sizeable chunk of money, MotoGP and Formula One are at times as different as Dover's chalkiest chalk and Cheddar's finest dairy produce. What both are, nonetheless, are motorsport's premier racing championships, and thus comparisons can and should be made. With the F1 season having concluded in Sao Paulo this past weekend, now is probably the best time to draw parallels and conclusions from the respective 2011 campaigns.

The Milan motorcycle show (EICMA) has grown to be one of the worlds premiere motorcycle events. With many manufacturers showcasing their latest concept motorcycles alongside of some of the worlds best custom bike builders it's definitely one for any motorcycle lovers bucket list.
The custom builders attending this year included the likes of Rolands Sands, Zero Engineering, Abnormal Cycles and Mr Martini. The bike that caught our eye was this Ducati Sport Classic Cafe Racer built by OMT Garage. It's not as extreme as other custom creations you would find at the show but it's certainly our style. The judges were obviously fond of it too as it took out second place in the Cafe Racer category.

The weather in Jerez for the private test for a number of Moto2, MotoGP and WSBK teams looks like more than making up for the washed out test at Valencia last week, with the first day of testing taking place under blue skies and warm temperatures, conditions which look set to stay all week. The day saw a variety of bikes taking to the track, with Ducati's test team, a handful of top Moto2 teams, and another sprinkling of MotoGP CRT machines running alongside the BMW World Superbike squad.
As it is a private test, no official times were released, but a raft of unofficial times were made available and assembled by the excellent Spanish site MotoWorld.es. Fastest man of the day - very unofficially - was Carlo Checa, the 2011 World Superbike champion gathering data with the "GPZero" version of the Desmosedici MotoGP bike, the aluminium-framed version of the GP12 with identical dimensions to the bike with the carbon fiber subframe and the engine as a stressed member. Unsurprisingly, Checa was 1.8 seconds faster than the Moto2 machines, Scott Redding having been quickest on the Marc VDS Racing Kalex, despite a morning crash which trashed his bike.....More
