Possibly the most unloved Ducati of all time. A project bike that offers the builder a chance to do anything, since an original restoration will net you very little.

Valentino Rossi put a scare into the reigning World Rally Champion with a strong second place finish in the Monza Rally Show at the Monza Autodrome outside of Milan, Italy.
The nine-time world champion and co-driver Carlo Cassina drove their Monster Energy Ford Fiesta RS to two stage wins and second place overall in the WRC class behind eight-time and defending World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb and co-driver Severine Loeb after three days of racing on a variety of courses at the Monza circuit.
"Beating his majesty Sebastien Loeb in the Rally of Monza Grand Prix is a cool thing... to do it two times it is priceless!" Rossi wrote on Twitter....

Some PR agencies are more creative than others. The KOEN agency in The Netherlands wanted to show a good case of what hemorrhoids can do, so they hired some poor blokes to ride around Amsterdam standing up on their motorcycle.

Up for sale is a superb and very rare 2004 Ducati 749R - arguably one of the best motorcycles ever produced by the world's finest manufacturer. The bike is #196, and one of only 50 imported into the US for the 2004 model year, the only year where the 749R came with the FULL carbon faring, nose cone etc from the factory. Details as follows:
12,241 total miles (upon shipment)
All books/records/receipts/keys (red included)
12k service completed (GP Motorcycles - at a cost of $1,850.00)
Very, very rare Termignoni/DP 57mm titanium race exhaust package with ECU/baffles/velocity stacks (believed to be 1 of 10 kits imported, a $4800 option(!) and not to be confused with standard Termi standalone Ti exhaust)
EVR "Evo" Slipper clutch- 200 miles since new (at a cost of $1400)
Sargent seat with Carbon FX option ($450)
STM anodized frame plugs ($125)
Pazzo Annodized clutch/brake levers ($175)
Michelin Pilot Power tires - as new
Also - a Geza dust cover (top of line)
The rarity and collectibility of the 2004 model 749R will be understood by anyone with more than a passing interest in Ducatis, and superbikes in general. This bike is testament to the quality of the 749R. The farings, carbon etc are in immaculate condition - and the bike presents close to "as new", and is mechanically perfect. With several thousand dollars of extreme quality extras, and the full 12k service completed by GP Motorcycles in San Diego, this "no stories", 2-owner bike offers exceptional value. Please contact me via Ebay for any additional information etc. I have clear title in hand - and full honesty/disclosure assured, check my feedback. This bike is a work of art, and has been used as such. Bike has been maintained continously on battery tender, and started every 2 weeks and run to normal operating temperature. I am selling the bike to free up some space in my games room(!) - please also check my auction for a super rare 2009 Bimota DB7. NO RESERVE AUCTION - if you know the value of these bikes, in this condition, with these extras - you will also know that the starting bid is very, very reasonable! Good luck!

With the gift-giving season at hand, it is time to start thinking about what to give that motorcycle-racing mad friend/partner/child of yours. If you don't have the money for Freddie Spencer's NS500, then the MotoMatters.com 2012 Motorcycle Racing Calendar is the next best thing for the diehard race fan. Packed with some of Scott Jones' most beautiful images from this year, together with a full listing of MotoGP and World Superbike races for the 2012 season, the calendar is both a thing of beauty and a useful tool for any motorcycle racing fan intending to follow their favorite international motorcycle racing series.
The calendar has a double-page spread for each month, with one of Scott Jones' fantastic photos above a month grid containing birthdays for most of the leading riders in the MotoGP, World Superbike, Moto2, World Supersport and 125cc classes. To help race fans plan their weekends, every MotoGP and World Superbike round is highlighted on the month grid for easy reference. Planning your race trip, viewing party or personal watching schedule has never been easier. As an added bonus, the center pages feature a double-page close up of the 2011 MotoGP World Champion Casey Stoner.
This year's calendar is large (12" x 9.25", or 30.5cm x 23.5cm), and features an additional high gloss finish to make Scott Jones' pictures shine. The calendar is to be produced in a limited run, with no more to be produced once the calendar sells out. Calendars are priced at $24.95 US plus shipping and handling, though MotoMatters.com subscribers receive a massive discount of over 50%, and can order the calendar for just $10.95 plus shipping and handling. The discount is applied automatically if you order a calendar while logged in as a subscriber.

Max Papis driving a NASCAR for the first time in History on the historic oval track of the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza during the 2011 Monza Rally Show. Great look at the Monza track and a real eye opener on how difficult it is to manage a NASCAR car in slow tight turns. But on lap 2 he's got it and it's pretty cool...
