There was never any doubt the Ducati Scrambler was going to sound good. It's using a variant of the same V-twin as the old Monster 796, which always delivered an unmistakable Italian aria once it was uncorked. But nothing prepared us for the aural delights of the new Duc with its first aftermarket can. Oh yes, the Scrambler lust is strong.

1958 Ducati 200 Elite For Sale
I know I featured a couple of these just a few days ago, but this Elite is an absolute gem. The Ducati 200 Elite was the Italian firm’s largest-displacement bike when it was introduced – a whopping 204cc when they bored out the popular 175cc engine.

Whisenant and his team took his Ducati 999-based partially streamlined LSR bike to Bonneville and established it as the fastest Ducati in America.
As a guy I always had a strong taste for motorcycles, although I have never rode once as advanced as this brand new Ducati I can give it the admiration it deserves. Congratulations to Bill Whisenant for building North America's fastest ducati, Typically Ducati has always been viewed as the staple of high quality motorcycles, in fact if i were to ever own a motorcycle my first choice would be a Ducati. Considering the speed and capabilities of the Ducati 999 its easy to tell one would have to be extremely skilled to drive one of these hellcats. From speed to performance to skillful engineering, just taking a look at this one would give it the appreciation it deserves.

There's plenty of buzz going around for the new Ducati Scrambler, and if you couldn't tell, we're pretty excited over here too! We're planning on getting one ASAP and building something like the Bullitt OG, but with a little Ducati flair. Scratching our heads and looking around the web, we've found some pretty promising mock-ups. The street tracker inspired design above is by Nuno Capêlo of Capelos Garage. We have and handful of other great Scrambler concepts below that are currently pinned up on our inspiration boards. Check 'em out and let us know which one you like most.

I’ve been running a Ducati Monster 1200 on MCN’s fleet since March, and we’ve done plenty together in the past eight months – but it took a rideout with a colleague to realise the full effect of the big V-twin.

These cars raced in a specific Formula category in Europe and particularly in Italy powered with Ducati bevel engines. This is the first one I have seen for sale in a long time. This was obviously an entry level racer but Techno built racecars all the way up to the F1 level

The second and last day of private testing at Alcaniz’s MotorLand Aragon was held in sunny and warm conditions that allowed all riders to continue with their on-track duties and data gathering. The rider to set the quickest time of the second day was Davide Giugliano (Ducati Superbike Team) who clocked a 1’50.2s to end the two-day test on a high note following a further 49 laps completed on the Spanish track. It was a similar outcome for the other factory Ducati rider Chaz Davies, who says he is really happy at how the 2015 version of the 1199 Panigale R is working despite the differences to last year’s machine. The Welshman was only 0.3s slower than his teammate today.

Royal Enfield has roped in Pierre Terblanche, one of the most respected motorcycle designers in the world today. Hailing from South Africa, Terblanche had a decade-long stint at Italian motorcycle conglomerate Cagiva, where he worked under the tutelage of the great Massimo Tamburini, the man responsible for the renaissance of MV Agusta.

Really excited about what this might mean for the future and relevancy of Royal Enfield. Hiring PT clearly means they are working on forward thinking in their product line.
