In European Diversity Month 2021, Ducati confirms its commitment to support diversity and inclusion as essential values in the workplace

Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 18 May 2021 - In May, the European Union celebrates the Diversity Month with the aim of raising community awareness on the importance of diversity and inclusion.

Hi There,

As im new here; Thomas, 36y, living in Flanders. I've been driving bikes since 3y now, and after owning an 2013 CB600f as my first bike, i recently bought myself an 97 748s. I always wanted an 90's, early 00's sports bike so finally here it is. I didnt have the big bag of money to spend it on so looked after a bike that needs to be fully restored. Engine starts and runs great, but as you can see it needs a lot of work to be done...

Hi guys,

Long time viewer, first time Ducati owner.

Got a 959 earlier this year and absolutely adore this bike. She is a very stock and low mile machine. I really just use it on the weekend. Already done a couple track days which were epic. The biggest thing for me is the handling of the machine which is unlike any other bike Ive had before.

Anyway here is a photo of her a couple hours north of Auckland as we make our way to top of NZ (doesnt take long by the way) on a multi day trip to take advantage of the autumn weather before winter turns up.

Take care all and ride safe

cheers B

Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 4 May 2021 - The Panigale V4 MY21 illustrated to all enthusiasts by the people who closely followed its development over the years: this was the idea behind the “Tech talks” video tutorial series, which is available on the Ducati.com website and published in episodes on the YouTube channel of the Bologna-based manufacturer.

Ducati Official Tester Alessandro Valia and Ducati Superbike Development Team Leader Carlo Ricci Maccarini are the protagonists of 7 videos made directly from the paddock of the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, in which they illustrate in detail the characteristics of the Panigale V4 S, focusing on strategies to use the available electronic controls correctly and consciously, with the aim of improving performance on the track.

The first video in the series is titled "MY21 Product Overview" and is an overview of the development of the Panigale V4 project starting from Model Year 20 and the major improvements made to this...

Well, my pub ‘motorpint’ on the rattlebox was ruined by the weather so I set about the polish......4 hours spent and I reckon looking pretty good

Hi All, just passed my 60th birthday and bought my first RED Italian.
Riding since 1986, owned 11 BMW's and 1 Honda, still owning 2 BMW R1150RS.
Having ridden more than 450.000 km on a motorbike, 14 years commuting 120 km a day without owning a car.
Not to fond getting on the bike when it rains nowadays , but hey , if it protects me from being in a traffic jam.... I will consider.

27 years ago.. 1994 ... I saw the 916 at the Dutch Motorshow @ Rai exhibition centre and I immediately fell in love ... however....
I just bought a brand new BMW R 1100 RS... half a year before
Great bike, took me and my wife all over Europe... Stayed wit BMW for the next 27 years and I am still happy with my 2 1150 's

The saying goes: "never meet your heroes", F**K It , I did.

First Ducati for me ever, went for the "9" series, simple proven technology, no digital farkles, just a pure bike , same as the BMW 1100/1150 series.
Newer BMW 1200's and the later Ducati's are beyond me...

Hello.
After 10 years since my last Ducati im now the lucky owner of a 998s. Over 10 years ago I debated 998 or 996sps. I ended up with the sps. I did love the sps but it was v high maintenance and sold it, a big mistake looking at todays prices. Finally Ive ended up with a 998 actually 998s mono.
Id been looking for a 998 999 pref s or r for a while after a few months ownership of a BMW R nineT. While on facebook I saw an ad pop up, 998s with lots of dp extras, 1 owner and low miles. I jumped in the van the next morning and met a really genuine guy selling his pride and joy, instantly i knew I had to have it.
Ill try to add some pics..
Simon
the moment I got home. Happy

Just had the absolute pleasure of getting my desmo belt service done at Cornerspeed by Neil. So knowledgeable and we'll worth the 2 hour ride each way for me. I've definitely found my new "local" workshop. Would recommend without hesitation for anyone to take their pride and joy there. Cheers @nelly

From A to B in many, many easy steps.
I wanted a tank for my Daytona 675 track bike as the bike will eventually go back on the road and the existing bodywork is pretty good (only the tank is left on the bike, rest is all track gear).

Scored this rather lovely crash damaged spare off eBay for £30 and set about repairs.
Step 1. Ensure the damage was petrol tight. I used Granville Tank repair.
Then lots of rubbing down, scuffing up etc. The original paint was OK but I needed to get the badges off so they were taken down to bare metal. I filled the dent with filler and sanded down, getting the radius of the tank corner by eye.
Given that the filler had a couple of tiny pinholes (air bubbles) I refilled a couple of times best as I could then applied a whole can of filler/primer which goes on yellow/gold in colour. Then three layers of normal primer.
Then flatted back using 1200 then 2000 wet and dry (used wet obviously). I use nail varnish remover from Tesco's to clean the tank...
