Borgo Panigale, (Bologna, Italy), 6 June 2019 – On the occasion of the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, two brand-new Ducati MIG-RR E-MTB were handed over to Andrea Dovizioso and Danilo Petrucci.

The factory riders of the Mission Winnow Ducati team will make good use of the E-MTB to integrate them into their training sessions and enjoy them in their free time.

The MIG-RR is an enduro E-MTB with 170 mm of wheel travel at the front and 160 mm at the rear. It mounts top-drawer components such as the Shimano Steps E8000 motor with 504 Wh battery, FOX Factory Kashima suspension, 4-caliper Shimano Saint brakes, Mavic wheels (29” front, 27,5” rear), carbon fibre Renthal handlebars and a livery specially developed by D-Perf, owned by Aldo Drudi.

The new MIG-RR is available for test rides at Ducati dealerships. Test-rides are open to everyone; to book, just go to the dedicated website, identify the nearest Ducati dealership and contact them directly by phone or email.

The E-MTB can...

A newbie to the forum and I’m really enjoying browsing.
I’ve a 2018 Monster 1200r

I'm getting a new bike, possibly on Wednesday. But guess what? It's not a Ducati. It's a Triumph Speed Twin. Why?
I am still the owner, on paper, of a 999. I haven't seen it for 3 and a half years. Will I see it this season? In theory, yes, although my "garagiste" phoned me a few weeks ago to say that although it was the only bike he had left to deal with (he is retired, in theory) he had just fallen off at the track (again) and put a 12-stitch-long gash in his thigh. Right, I thought, I won't be seeing it until June again at the earliest. And who knows, maybe not even then.

This farce has gone on long enough, I thought. I need a new bike.

So what bike? Well, the one I like most is the MV F3 800. But if the Ducati reappears, it won't be worth selling (50'000 kms and 13 years old) and I like it too much to sell anyway. But the MV is just a different flavour of the same thing - wind it on and see if you can't get your knee down in the corners. In the current regulatory Swiss...

I've just done a deal with SMC for their ex demo V4s, I should be picking it up by the end of the week. I think I got a good deal in the end, and got the first service and an extra yrs warranty out of them. The bike has a couple of nice extra's like evotec rad guards, rizoma bar ends and rizoma lever savers. Photo's coming soon.

So picked up my brand new 1260S on Saturday having traded in my 2010 Multi after 9 years of loyal service.

Started on the mods already with a navihalter mount and a WRS light smoke screen which I think looks spot on.

I have some Evotech guards to fit and a Termi D193 end can, few other bits and pieces too.

I'll post as I add more bits.

Well after 3 weeks of waiting the ne 1260 multistrader has arrived.
Picked it up and headed out towards the Yorkshire dales and beyond to lakes and back to leeds all I can say is .
It was worth the wait.

As above, Getting a little excited but unfortunately not over a Ducati this time,
Bought the 2019 Tuono Factory, Will defo miss the sfs and 888

Following my accident last year after a 300 mile storm ride on the way home from another forum track event at Pembrey i thought i would be back on a bike in a few weeks as the A and E diagnosed soft tissue damage to my shoulder that should take a month or so to get better .... oops

9 months later and 3 months on from surgery to fix the torn muscles, damaged tendons and fucked rotator cuff i finally felt like i was safe to ride again. I have been very patient and followed the advice of my Physioterrorist to slowly build up movement and strength in the shoulder after 4 weeks of 24/7 wearing a sling and immobilisation to allow grafts in the shoulder to heal which was a complete restriction and fucking agony at every bump and slight movement. I had surgery on my other shoulder a few years ago but the prolonged pain on this one was a whole new level
Started swimming every day to try and move things along about 12 days ago and its worked a treat although do look a knob in the gym with...

After having ridden 55,000 miles (88,000 km) solo on his Desert Sled, Henry Crew will be present with Ducati Scrambler at 'Bike Shed London 2019' from 24 to 26 May
The young British rider crossed 35 countries in 381 days, establishing a new world record
Also on display at the London event, a selection of the Ducati Scrambler 2019 range, as well as two special editions

Borgo Panigale, Bologna, Italy / London, United Kingdom, 23 May 2019 – Henry Crew, the young 23 year-old man who set off a year ago to ride solo around the world with his Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled, has come back to England, establishing a new world record as the youngest motorcyclist to complete a round-the-world tour by motorcycle.

Henry, who left on 3 April 2018 from the Bike Shed Motorcycle Club in Shoreditch, London, had planned to ride 35,000 miles in a year. On his return, on 19 April 2019, the Desert Sled which he rode for the whole journey had clocked up 55,000 miles (over 88,000 km).

Hi, just to let you know that my 2002 998, low mileage 2228 has finally sold!...guy came down yesterday to view the bike, liked what he saw, paid the deposit, actually rang me tonight to do a bank transfer into my account although he won't be collecting the bike until Saturday, result! plus he paid me what I was actually asking for it, £9500...although I did include the original exhausts, etc, plus a genuine Ducati paddock stand, yes yes I know I could have sold them separately, but that would of just prolonged the agony of parting with the bike. So I'm on my new Bonneville next week, not as nice to look at but a lot more comfortable for my ageing knees.

God damn it !

After 2 previous threads about Arai helmets I had been looking out for; for years, appearing on eBay recently out of the blue, I relaxed, safe in the knowledge that the last one in my watch list (An Arai Nori Haga Monza special edition in white) never come up , and never ever in my size and mint.
