Ducati Hypermotard Mono

Ducati Hypermotard Mono - Play Date

The automotive world is certainly changing. Riders are getting older yet bikes are getting bigger. Adventure bikes and touring bikes are getting bigger and we've more or less seen the demise of the litre sports bike. 

The government tell us that by 2030 there will be no more <50cc petrol motorcycles and by 2040, no more petrol bikes. 

In this increasingly regulated world, I’ve gotta say the Ducati Hypermotard Mono is a breath of fresh air.

Ducati Desert X

Ducati Desert X - Play Date

Ducati is a brand close to my heart. They are one of the most recognisable and aspirational brands in the world. They have achieved incredible success in both motorsport and on the showroom floor, creating some of the best and most beautiful bikes ever to grace the highways and byways. 

I was recently given the opportunity to ride the Desert X and Hypermoto Mono at a Ducati media day, That’s an invitation I’m not going to turn down.

Ducati Panigale V2 2023

Ducati Panigale V2 - Beauty and Passion Combined

Powerful engines, unmistakable design, innovative technologies and a burning passion for motorcycles: That is the credo of Ducati, the most desirable brand for powerful two-wheel products.

I was recently lucky enough to taste some of Ducati's delicious offerings for a couple of hours on a press day. One of the delights was the Panigale V2, named after the district of Borgo Panigale, home of Ducati.

Ducati Diavel 1260 S - Dare To Be Different

Ducati’s Diavel has been with us for over 10 years now. 

In those 10 years I'venever ridden one, it's a bike that hasn't particularly caught my eye much, but I recently had the chance to have the new 1260 S on test so I thought I’d give it a go and see what all the fuss was about. All of the reviews I read have praised the Diavel so I must be missing out, let's see what it's all about.

Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE - Fun Machine

In the car world, manufacturers spend huge amounts of money trying to design cars that will appeal to everyone and offend no one, in an effort to capture as many sales as possible. The end result is a sea of anonymous SUV’s that all look broadly similar and have very few stand out characteristics. They are little more than white goods.

Ducati Multistrada 1260S

Ducati Multistrada 1260S

With 158bhp on tap, Ducati’s Multistrada 1260S is a fast bike. It blurs the boundary between an adventure bike and a sports tourer, and I love it.

The Multistrada 1260 uses the 1262cc engine is a Diavel-derived motor with new mapping and exhaust. What a great engine this is, characterful and bags of power and torque, making 85% of its 130Nm torque from just 3500rpm.
