The 2011 848 EVO now further enhances Ducati's most impressive lightweight Superbike ever with more power from the Testastretta engine and more braking power from Brembo's incredible Monobloc brake technology combining to provide an even more exciting way to enter the world of Ducati Superbikes. The “EVO” treatment applied to the 848 introduces a 6hp power boost to 140hp (103kW) and a torque increase to 72.3lb-ft (98Nm) that results in a razor-sharp and easy-to-use power delivery while the combination of the 848's legendary (168kg) chassis set-up and planet-stopping Brembo Monobloc brakes gives unthinkable braking performances most can only dream of. Iconic features from the World Championship-winning machines, such as the twin under-seat silencers, single-sided swingarm, Trellis frame, beautiful race bodywork and steering damper, are all part of the 848's DNA. The 848 EVO Dark Stealth and 848 EVO will be available at the same price as the outgoing 848 range including the traditional colour of Ducati red with red frame and black wheels and introducing the stunning new “dark stealth” with racing black frame and black wheels.

This article was posted on Friday, November 13, 2009 Bike Show The Eicma visitors elect the new Ducati Multistrada 1200 Best Bike in show. More than 20,000 fans voted for the bike by participating in the competition organized each year by the Italian "Motociclismo" magazine, who carried out a survey among the visitors with a form to fill out either at the show or online. The new Multistrada 1200 took more than 48% of the votes, followed by the MV AgustaF4 and the Aprilia RSV4. The prize giving took place at the end of the show, on the official Motolive stage (the area dedicated to EICMA's external events) in the presence of Dr. Costantino Ruggero, the General Director of EICMA, and Piero Bacchetti, President and CEO of the Edisport publishing group. This was the final event at the end of an intense week that saw nearly 450,000 visitors fill the Halls of the Milano-Rho trade show district. The award only emphasizes the public's enormous interest in the new jewel in the Borgo-Panigale crown, a further confirmation of the energy and resources that Ducati is dedicating to the constant development of new products. The new Ducati Multistrada 1200 thus reigns supreme. Not just a new bike, but a new concept of bike. From the moment the EICMA show opened, the area of the Ducati stand dedicated to this innovative machine was flooded with a constant tide of visitors, all eager to see the new product, the pride of the Italian motorcycle industry. The 1200 is a Multistrada with the emphasis on Multi, a sportbike which is powerful and fun but also easy to ride and whose first priority is the safety and comfort of its rider. Ducati wanted to produce a motorcycle to tackle any kind of journey and road surface, a motorcycle that used technology derived from the Bologna-made race bikes in MotoGP and World Superbike. A bike with no limits, that can transform itself to suit the rider's demands, from a supersport to a tourer for long journeys with a passenger and luggage, to an everyday bike which can breeze through the daily commute and also tackle off-road routes with the agility of an enduro; in other words, four bikes in one! The Ducati Multistrada 1200 arrives on the market in Spring 2010 This article was posted on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 Multistrada 1200 Price update. The Multistrada 1200 standard base model price is confirmed at £10,995. Please note this SRP is based on the VAT rate being 17.5% which we assume will be applicable from 1 st January 2010. However, the SRP may be adjusted if the VAT rate is not changed to 17.5%. No pricing has been announced for the Multistrada 1200 ABS, S or T models. This article was posted on Friday, November 13, 2009 The new 2010 Multistrada 1200 Ducati UK will be showcasing two of the hottest new models at this year's NEC motorcycle show. The new and eagerly awaited Multistrada 1200 along with the acclaimed Hypermotard 796 will be making their UK debuts at the International Motorcycle Show in Birmingham from the 27th November to the 6th December. Ducati will have just two new models on display rather than their full range with a smaller scale stand than in previous years. However despite the economic climate that has resulted in other manufacturers taking the decision not to attend this year's show at all, Ducati felt it was vital to not only support the UK's premier motorcycle show but also not to deny the British public the opportunity to see one the most important and eagerly awaited bikes of 2010. The Multistrada 1200 unveiled recently at the Milan show stunned visitors with its innovative Weighing in at 189kg the Multistrada is lighter than any other road enduro, touring or sport touring bike currently available and coupled with class leading technology, Ducati has once again set the benchmark and is certain to be the biggest draw at the show. The Hypermotard 796 joins the Multistrada at the NEC and has already been lauded after its recent press launch in Bologna where it impressed with its agility and adeptness and will no doubt be a draw to those looking for a versatile urban companion. The 796 is as aggressively striking as the 1100, but with a lower seat height, flexible 81hp engine and an overall weight of 167kg, the new 796 fuses aggression with mild manners, a perfect combination for the city or the open road. This article was posted on Friday, November 13, 2009 Colour changing Ducati's Ducati now offer dozens of different colour panels for their ever-popular Monsters. The idea is fancy a change, buy a new set of panels, fit them in just 15 minutes and bingo – a new bike (well almost but you will probably fool the neighbours!) Ducati sent a set to Motorcycle News Senior Editor John Westlake – you can watch the footage yourself below click here. New Hypermotard 796 Ducati has released the first images of the Hypermotard 796, in advance of the international EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. The Hypermotard family will expand for 2010 with the addition of the exciting new Hypermotard 796. Just as aggressively striking as the 1100, the new Hypermotard 796 features a lower seat height and brand new smooth and flexible engine to make it the perfect urban assault vehicle. Whether it's working the daily commute or attacking the open roads, the 796 will ride the common ground between manners and madness by mixing Ducati's unrivalled twin-cylinder power and sport bike heredity with the lightweight and minimalist supermotard concept. The 796 weighs in at just 167kg (368lb), partly achieved by a lightweight engine, but also by continued chassis development that includes redesigned top and bottom fork clamps and an improved frame layout which eliminates almost all of the forged elements previously used with At 825mm (32.5in), the seat height of the 796 is a sure-footed 20mm (0.8in) lower than the 1100 and, when combined with the new engine's smooth power delivery, this Hypermotard inspires confidence however and wherever its ridden. The completely new Ducati 796 engine, which conforms to Euro 3 regulations, produces 81hp (59.6kW) of power and 55.7lb-ft (7.7kgm) of torque with the smooth and economic rideability expected from all Desmodue L-Twins. The bike is equipped by an APTC ‘wet' clutch to give a ‘slipper' type action that prevents destabilization of the rear-end during aggressive down-shifting and also gives the extra benefit of a super-light feel at the lever, a great benefit in stop-start city traffic or during longer journeys. The new 796 comes in an urban-style Dark finish with matte black tank and beak section, black frame and black wheels or, alternatively, matte white tank with contrasting matte black beak, black frame and black wheels. For the purists, an 1100 look-alike red tank with matching beak section, red frame and black wheels gives the 796 a traditional livery. The Hypermotard is expected to arrive at Riders in December. The bike Matt colour versions have an SRP of £6,995 and the traditional Red version is £7,195 SRP This article was posted on Thursday, October 2, 2009 Ducati hopes to make the dream of owning a Ducati more achievable than ever, with a 0% finance offer and lowest ever service costs.

This article was posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 "Hyper-Terminator" The year is 2018. Judgment Day has come and gone, levelling modern civilization. An army of Terminators roams the post-apocalyptic landscape, killing or collecting humans where they hide in the desolate cities and deserts. But small groups of survivors have organized into a Resistance, hiding in underground bunkers and striking when they can against an enemy force that vastly outnumbers them. Controlling the Terminators is the artificial intelligence network Skynet, which became self-aware 14 years earlier and, in the blink of an eye, turned on its creators, unleashing nuclear annihilation on an unsuspecting world. Only one man saw Judgment Day coming. One man, whose destiny has always been intertwined with the fate of human existence: John Connor (Christian Bale). Now the world is on the brink of the future that Connor has been warned about all his life. But something totally new has shaken his belief that humanity stands a chance of winning this war: the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger from the past whose last memory is of being on death row before awakening in this strange, new world. Connor must decide whether Marcus can be trusted. But as Skynet adapts new strategies to end the Resistance forever, Connor and Marcus must find common ground to take a stand against the onslaught—to infiltrate Skynet and meet the enemy head-on. The Hypermotard was the inspiration for one of the newest Terminator machines, the MotoTerminator! Check out some behind the scenes footage of Ducati on the set of Terminator Salvation. "This movie is all about technology taken to such a high level that it becomes an art form — to me, that fits as a description of Ducati," said McG, Director of Terminator Salvation.

The Desmosedici RR is the first-ever road-going motorcycle to offer such a stunning wealth of performance and technology that comes directly from Ducati's experience in MotoGP.The body design and the aerodynamics faithfully reflect the Desmosedici GP6. The colour scheme, the fittings, the materials used in its construction as well as the technical features of the powerful four-cylinder desmodromic engine built by the Borgo Panigale factory engineers, leave no doubts whatsoever: the Desmosedici RR is the ultimate expression of the most extreme MotoGP racing machine today. The price includes a three year warranty and servicing cover plus a "slip-on" muffler and complimentary fuel and ignition mapping in a "race ECU". Just 1500 motorcycles have been produced so this is really a once in a lifetime offer. The Desmosedici is priced at £42,000 - a small price in our opinion for this fantastic motorcycle.
