Ducati live at Motor Bike Expo
Ducati took the 1198 S Corse Special Edition, Multistrada 1200, and Hypermotard Evo to the Motor Bike Expo held in Verona, Italy, over the weekend. While the models had already been seen at EICMA 2009, they were on display again for the joy of the lucky Italian public. The 1198 S Corse Special Edition shows off a new livery, and is characterised by an aluminium racing tank, Ducati Corse logo, racing kit and Ducati’s traction control.
The full Ducati 2010 range was on show at the Motor Bike Expo, including Ducati accessories and clothing. Despite the lovely 1198S, all eyes are on the Multistrada 1200 to see how it pulls off its mix of sport with touring and off-road. Other bikes to check out were the Hypermotard 796, the Hypermotard 1100EVO and the brand new Hypermotard 1100Evo SP.

Here’s a great challenge between the Ducati 1198 S, the Aprilia RSV4 Factory and the KTM RC8R. The Ducati is still a classy, impressive bike with heaps of torque, but if you love Aprilia, or are a KTM fan, this could be a very close call for you. The KTM RC8R V-Twin is a big effort from the company, and they deserve kudos for being able to compete with the experience of the likes of Ducati and Aprilia. Check it out in the video.

Tor Sagen with the new Ducati 1198 S
Tor Sagen from Raptors and Rockets had the chance to try the lovely Ducati 1198S on the Portimao track, along with legend Troy Bayliss.
Tor has revealed that the stunning new Ducati offering is full of refined elements, and technology (for example the Ducati Traction Control) and has been designed to tour the world’s best circuits. The power-weight ratio is 1:1, with 170hp, 169kg dry weight, and 131Nm at 8,000 revs.
The bike has lovely lines and a great engine sound. The DTC was used (at Level 4) and was found to be an exceptional instrument for a new track or riding such a top-performance bike. The traction control is a safety measure for both expert track riders, and for road use.
