From Old Ducati Monster To Neo-Retro Racer

Dane Maricic — Tue, 16 May 2023 02:31:19 GMT

A ghost that was made from a monster. Sounds like a start of a horror movie. Well, it isn’t. It is a custom-built motorcycle from a Manchester-based workshop that want to push the limits, not just in design, but also in terms of components used and fabrication. This resulted in carbon fiber being used extensively, and lots of sharp lines.

The Real Difference Between Ducati And Other European Manufacturers

Bruno Maia — Mon, 15 May 2023 13:00:17 GMT

Ducati, like many other brands from the automotive world that came from Italy, evokes a burning passion, unlike any other machine, no matter how brilliant or precisely engineered they may be. Ducati is a motorcycle brand loved by many, disliked by few, and noticed by all. Founded in 1926 not as a motorcycle manufacturer, but as a company that made radio equipment, the Societa Radio Brevetti Ducati went on until the factory was destroyed in a bombing in 1944, during World War II.

Ducati Is Not Too Keen About More Retro Motorcycles

Punya Sharma — Mon, 15 May 2023 12:31:18 GMT

Last year, the Ducati Scrambler range set a new milestone, as it breached 100,000 sales. Couple this with its general fandom, and it’s safe to say the neo-retro motorcycle lineup has been a monumental success for the Italian bikemaker. Given its prowess in the field, it's only fair we (and probably you too) expect the Bologna brand to focus whip up more old-school-flavored motorcycles in the future. But we’re afraid that’s not what the company thinks, as revealed by Rocco Canosa (Head Of Ducati’s Scrambler program).

This Custom Ducati 1098 Is More Seductive Than Your Favorite Super Models

Punya Sharma — Wed, 10 May 2023 13:45:17 GMT

The world of custom motorcycles is full of Harley-Davidsons and Royal Enfields. Their simple nature makes them easy to take apart, overhaul, and put together. What you rarely see, though, are customs based on Ducatis since only a few folks possess the talent, time, and patience to dazzle them up. But the greater the work, the better the reward, and this is exactly what the ‘Unica Ferreti’ proves. It’s a seductive custom Ducati 1098, built by automotive aficionado (NYC resident) Ronaldo Ferreti after two years of hard work and umpteenth patience. All of which shows the moment you take a glance at it.

TopSpeed Tech: What Is A Quickshifter And Do You Actually Need It?

Punya Sharma — Tue, 02 May 2023 13:16:17 GMT

Go to your phone’s stopwatch and try to stop the timer at 0.1 seconds. Seems like a very small duration, right? Well, it is, but this same tenth of a second can decide whether you finish tenth or first in a motorcycle race. Thanks to this, race engineers go the extra mile on their bikes to shave off even the finest milliseconds. And one such technology birthed from the said outlook is a quickshifter that, as its name suggests, makes upshifts (and downshifts) quicker.

This Exhilarating Ducati Sport Bike Flexes Ferrari Roots

Punya Sharma — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 15:30:18 GMT

All good things come to an end, and Ducati faced this realization as soon as it entered the 21st century. After eight WSBK world titles between 1990 and 1999, Honda (with Colin Edwards at the helm) dethroned Team Red in the 2000 championship did no good to the latter’s reputation as a specialist in world-class race machinery. To no one’s surprise, the Bolognese engineers wasted no time and went back to the sketch board, only to birth one of the most exhilarating (and rare) Ducatis - the 996R.

A Closer Look At The Ducati Streetfighter V2

Jonathan Hayner — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 13:00:17 GMT

There’s a bad new hombre, or better yet a bad new uomo (man in Italian) in town, and it’s the Ducati Streetfighter V2. This updated naked sport bike looks mean and very fast. It’s a high performance naked bike for the streets that offers a more comfortable and casual riding position while still remaining stylish in the usual Italian way. The bike can make its way through traffic, but it loves roads to open up a little, so you can twist the throttle. The Streetfighter V2 loses the fairings present on the Panigale V2 but still has plenty of good looks and a streamlined physique.

A Closer Look At The Ducati Diavel V4

Bruno Maia — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 13:00:17 GMT

Not a lot of motorcycles deliver sport bike performance with cruiser-like comfort. Proof of that is how much buzz the future Buell Super-cruiser is causing, precisely for those reasons. But it’s not necessary to wait that long for a bona fide power cruiser, and from an already well-established brand nonetheless. Ducati managed to deliver the full package with the new 2023 Ducati Diavel V4.

10 Things You Need To Know About The Ducati Panigale V2

Harry Fisher — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 15:00:17 GMT

When Ducati announced its new V4 engine that would power its top-of-the-range sports and other road bikes, there was general dismay that the V-Twin engine that had characterized every Ducati since the early 1970s would disappear and a lot of heritage would be lost.

Ducati's Iconic Desmo Valve To Disappear Soon

Punya Sharma — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 12:31:17 GMT

[UPDATE: Ducati has reached out to us and clarified this rumor is false, with no merit in it.]

Five Motorcycles With Sexiest Under-Tail Exhausts

Punya Sharma — Sat, 01 Apr 2023 14:16:17 GMT

With new emission norms strangling the engines, motorcycle exhaust systems have become a big problem for bikemakers. They’re bulkier than ever and require tonnes of R&D to limit the emissions/decibel levels, while somehow not playing spoilsport for the power output. In fact, many bikemakers have even hired exhaust companies to do the work for them; for instance, the Honda CBR1000RR-R comes with an Akrapovic exhaust as standard.

10 Most Beautiful Ducati Motorcycles Ever Made

Dmitry Pavlovsky — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 14:00:17 GMT

Ducati has this knack for designing motorcycles that make us, hardened bikers, feel things. And since we don't like to feel things, we're always skeptical of the Italian builder. We take it out on them by saying things like 'oh they're unreliable' and 'wait 'till you have to do the desmodromic valve service.' But we know, deep down in our V-twin (sorry, L-twin) hearts that all those things don't really matter. They are truly beautiful machines with engines that have heaps of character. Riding a Ducati is to be one with the road. Every shift, spin of the dry clutch and pull of the throttle reminds us why we love motorcycles.

This Custom Ducati Cafe-Racer Is A Tantalizing Beast

Punya Sharma — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 22:00:17 GMT

Battista Pininfarina, Bertone, Tamburini–Italy has given us some of the most talented designers in the world. However, these are all legends in the industry (who are either enjoying retirement or resting in peace) and it’s high time the new kids take over. Enter Luca Pagani, a young designer and clay modeler who has worked with celebrated names like Gucci and Italdesign. For his latest project, however, the designer has birthed a tantalizing custom Ducati cafe racer from the ground up, only to prove Italy’s prowess in motorcycle design yet again.

The 10 Coolest Bikes Designed By Pierre Terblanche

Harry Fisher — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 15:00:17 GMT

Growing up in South Africa, Pierre Terblanche was fascinated by motorcycle engineering and styling from an early age, particularly those produced by Ducati. A spell at Volkswagen was good grounding, but then he made the dream move to Ducati, just in time to re-style the 907 Paso and work on the 888 from start to finish.

10 Of The Coolest Motorcycles Designed By Massimo Tamburini

Harry Fisher — Sun, 26 Mar 2023 15:00:17 GMT

Once called the ‘Michaelangelo of motorbike design,’ Massimo Tamburini had an indelible influence on motorcycle design for 40 years, creating such iconic models as the Ducati Paso 750, the Ducati 916 and the MV Agusta F4.

Three Dark Horses For The 2023 MotoGP World Title (And Three Obvious Favorites)

Punya Sharma — Sat, 25 Mar 2023 17:16:17 GMT

A decade ago, MotoGP was a somewhat predictable sport. The usual suspects were the top riders in top teams - Marc Marquez, Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa - who locked the podiums race after race. In recent years, however, the pendulum has shifted toward the new kids and made MotoGP… well, more fun to watch. Take the 2022 MotoGP season, for instance. It had plenty of talking points - Suzuki shocked everyone with its exit, Honda had its worst season ever, and Ducati won a MotoGP title for the first time in 15 long years - all of which resulted in a cracking championship.

10 Motorcycles From The 1970s That Are Still Great To Ride

Harry Fisher — Sat, 25 Mar 2023 14:00:17 GMT

It is common to deride the 70s as the decade that style forgot, what with flared trousers, huge lapels and man-made fibers in gaudy colors. But it was also a decade of great music, from heavy rock to soul, R&B to disco, not forgetting prog and Glam rock!

10 Things You Need To Know About The Ducati Multistrada V2

Harry Fisher — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 15:00:17 GMT

For fifty years, Ducati has been defined by the V-Twin engine, but all that looked to be coming to an end with the arrival of the incredible V4 engine that was not only much more powerful, but also, amazingly, only a little larger than the venerable V-Twin.

Why MotoGP Is The Only Motorcycle Racing You Need To Watch This Year

Harry Fisher — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 13:00:16 GMT

On the eve of the start of the 2023 MotoGP season, depending on which team or manufacturer you support, the coming races are going to be either a triumph or a disaster.

10 Reasons Why The Ducati Panigale V4 Is The Best Sport Bike

Harry Fisher — Sun, 19 Mar 2023 15:30:17 GMT

The Ducati V-Twin (or L-Twin, if you want to be pedantic) engine must go down in history as one of the great motorcycle engines, powering every Ducati since 1971 and becoming a defining element of the motorcycles from Bologna. By the time of the 1299 Panigale, however, the development potential of the engine was coming to an end, and a decision was made to build a V4 as a replacement. While this may have alienated some customers, there can be no doubt that it has given the Ducati Panigale a new lease on life and provided a link to the Ducati race bikes raced in both MotoGP and World Superbikes.

The Ducati Leggero Proves That Beauty And Performance Can Go Hand In Hand

Dane Maricic — Sun, 19 Mar 2023 11:00:17 GMT

Yes, there are hundreds of customized Ducatis out there for you to choose from. But some of those customized bikes got extra attention during fabrication and a few more hand-built parts that set them apart and puts them in a different league. It is a perfect love letter to the bygone era of air-cooled Ducatis and their 1000cc Desmo engines. Design-wise, you can see Siegl’s (well-deserved) fascination with the legendary 750/900 Supersport from the mid-70s.

10 Best Commuter Motorcycles For Beginners

Alex Sheets — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 15:00:17 GMT

As a beginner, it can be tough to settle on what bike is right for you to do your daily commuting. Many contemporary motorcycles have become a lot more than just two wheels and a couple of screaming pistons– there are so many flashy features and confusing systems these days. It's also easy to end up on something that isn't remotely appropriate, whether it be overpriced or just not very reliable. For some, it can be tempting to jump on the fastest bike with the highest horsepower; for others, to just jump on the first thing they can afford or even the first thing they come across. If you're going to spend the money, you should get something that suits you, something that won't get you hurt, yet something that you can grow into. There are lots of options in every style from a variety of brands around the world, each with its own strong points and benefits.

10 Motorcycles You Have To Ride Before You Die

Harry Fisher — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 15:00:17 GMT

Most of us have a wish list of motorcycles that we would love to own: some of us have even managed to collect all the bikes on our lists. But it would be fair to say that the vast majority of us will never get to own everything we want, but that doesn’t stop us dreaming.

All Future Ducatis With Over 150 Horsepower Will Get A V4

Dane Maricic — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 12:00:18 GMT

This not-so-shocking news comes from Ducati’s project manager for the Diavel V4, Stefano Tarabusi and Ducati’s VP of global sales, Francesco Milicia. In a recent interview, both Tarabusi and Milicia confirmed the company’s dedication to further improving its V4 engine as well as using it as a base for all its future top-of-the-line models.

The Incredible History Of The V-Twin Motorcycle Engine

Jonathan Hayner — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 14:30:17 GMT

One of the most endearing and enduring engine designs, particularly for motorcycles, is the V-Twin engine. It was the next step in motorcycle evolution just after the single cylinder engine and has become a mainstay. All the big names in the motorcycle industry from all around the world have used V-Twins.

Five Exquisite Motorcycles Birthed From Collaborations

Punya Sharma — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 14:00:17 GMT

Often, car enthusiasts will look down upon motorcycles, and motorcycle enthusiasts will do the same to cars. But when it comes to car and motorcycle manufacturers, there’s barely any tussling and the two trajectories rarely coincide. After all, carmakers and bikemakers represent two different categories of the automobile world, which aren’t threats to each other.

Here’s Why Supermotos Are So Much Fun

Dmitry Pavlovsky — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 14:00:17 GMT

Picture this scene. You're standing next to your sport bike on track day. You're patiently waiting for your group's turn to head out onto the track. You're watching other sport bikes flying past you, weaving in and out of corners. The excitement is building to a crescendo. Suddenly, something catches your attention out of the corner of your eye. It's a bright angular motorcycle, the likes of which you've never seen on the track before. It's closing in fast, surging past R1s, Fireblades and Daytonas. Why does it look so strange? Then, finally, it dawns on you why it looks so out of place. It's a dirt bike on 17-inch wheels and racing slicks.

10 Of The Worst Chinese Copycat Motorcycles

Harry Fisher — Thu, 23 Feb 2023 15:00:17 GMT

All motorcycle manufacturers copy each other to a greater or lesser extent but, usually, this is in terms of a class of motorcycle as opposed to blatant copying of style and design: manufacturer A introduces a new concept called an ‘adventure bike,’ and soon, all its rivals are doing the same.

Ducati’s Future May Not Be All Electric

Dane Maricic — Sat, 18 Feb 2023 12:00:17 GMT

Electrification is something every great car and motorcycle manufacturer is occupied with right now. It seems that every day a new EV start-up pops up somewhere with a new and exciting project trying to reinvent the wheel. But, let’s talk about the powerhouse from Bologna for a second to see if electrification is the only way for Ducati. And what better person to clarify that than Fabrizio Cazzoli, one of Ducati’s managing directors.

This Is Why Naked Bikes Are Better Than Sport Bikes

Alex Sheets — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 15:00:17 GMT

Sport bikes dominate at the track — there's no doubt about that. A Yamaha R1 will outstrip a Suzuki Katana any day if put head-to-head on the track. So, if speed is your main concern, a sport bike can be a great choice.

MotoE Proves Racing Can Be Sustainable

Dane Maricic — Fri, 10 Feb 2023 13:00:16 GMT

It started in 2019 as the MotoE World Cup with 6 races in 4 rounds held from July to November with a powerful idea to ‘create positive change in the motorcycle industry.’ MotoE was based on the premise that electric mobility had the power to ‘significantly cut emissions and make a key contribution to global sustainability goals.’

10 Of The Greatest V-Twin Motorcycle Engines Of All Time

Harry Fisher — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 16:01:17 GMT

The V-Twin engine, also called a V2, first came to prominence in motorcycling in the early 1900s, both in Europe and America. A V-Twin engine features a common crankpin for both cylinders’ connecting rods, not only making the crankshaft short and stiff, but also making the whole engine extremely narrow, which is good for aerodynamics, at the expense of cooling for the rear cylinder.

10 Motorcycles That Shaped The Modern Sport Bike

Harry Fisher — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 15:30:17 GMT

10 Reasons You Should Give Aprilia Another Chance

Andra DelMonico — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 15:01:17 GMT

When people think of Italian motorcycles, they tend to immediately think of Ducati. However, Ducati isn’t the only Italian company making motorcycles. Aprilia may not have as much brand recognition, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it the same level of attention.

10 Of The Best Reasons Why You Should Buy A Sports Bike

Harry Fisher — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 16:01:16 GMT

The modern sport bike is an incredible piece of engineering, completely uncompromised, and the pinnacle of the art of building a motorcycle. There are many who criticize them for being too powerful and too fast, but, on the other side of the argument, are many others for whom riding a sport bike at its limit is the ultimate test, and, no less important, the ultimate thrill. No matter which side of the fence you sit, there is just no way you can’t fail to be overawed by a sports bike, especially as nowadays, power outputs have breached the 200 horsepower mark.

This Custom Ducati Motorcycle Redefines The Meaning Of Bespoke

Dane Maricic — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 12:00:17 GMT

Turning a naked motorcycle into a full sport bike should be pretty simple. Just cover the engine, add a front fairing with a tiny windshield, and voila… you got yourself a sport bike (more or less).

Meet The Ten Iconic And Legendary Ducati Scramblers

Andra DelMonico — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 19:27:06 GMT

The Ducati Scrambler lineup doesn’t get the attention that it deserves. While many people know the Italian motorcycle manufacturer for their sport bikes, it can do so much more. It also makes adventure motorcycles that are sophisticated and packed with technology. Then there are the scramblers.

The 2012 Ducati Panigale 1199 S Tricolore Was Once The World's Most Powerful Twin-Cylinder Superbike

Punya Sharma — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 22:30:17 GMT

Ducati has been the flagbearer for twin-cylinder engines for the longest time. Even though it has switched to V4 engines now, there are plenty of twin-cylinder masterpieces in the company’s rich heritage that not only pushed the envelope of performance but also beat the dominant four-cylinder engines. Arguably the best example of this feat is the Ducati 1199 Panigale, which was dubbed the world’s most powerful twin-cylinder production motorcycle in 2012.

Here's What Makes The Ducati Scrambler So Special Even Today

Harry Fisher — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 14:00:16 GMT

As much as any manufacturer that has delved into its past to create a modern motorcycle, Ducati has a distinguished history from which to draw inspiration for new models. Rather than re-create a sports motorcycle, with which the company is primarily associated, Ducati chose to look back to its range of Scramblers that were produced in the 1960s and early ‘70s. The resulting Scrambler of 2015 has since become Ducati’s best-selling model ever, and it’s not difficult to see why.

This Ducati Monster Is An Electric Motorcycle Like No Other

Punya Sharma — Sun, 22 Jan 2023 16:00:16 GMT

The Ducati Monster has been an integral part of the manufacturer’s lineup for over 30 years. A monumental reason for its success has been its constant progression with the times, and it even bid adieu to its iconic trellis chassis in its latest avatar for the sake of modernism. Owing to this, the Monster seems like the perfect canvas for Ducati’s first electric motorcycle, and could very well lure in enthusiasts of all ages. Designer Filippo Ubertino also has similar views, but unlike us, he has brought this thought to life by creating an electric Ducati Monster concept for all of us to enjoy.

Top 10 Ducati Motorcycles Currently On Sale

Alex Sheets — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 12:00:16 GMT

In 1923, three sons and their father founded Ducati to produce vacuum tubes, condensers, and other radio components in Bologna. In 1944, following the liberation of Italy during WWII, a company called SIATA produced an engine that could be added to bicycles. Ducati sold a complete motorized bicycle using these engines by 1950, but would of course eventually produce their own motorcycles. By the 60s, they developed the fastest 250cc motorcycle of that time: the Mach 1, which could top 100 MPH. Interestingly, as the years went on, the company would change hands a number of times, eventually becoming a subsidiary of Audi. Ducati motorcycles are well known for featuring large-displacement V-twin engines and trellis frames. It has long been a producer of high-performance bikes, and as such, has long participated in racing. Since the 80s, Ducati has racked up hundreds of wins in the Superbike World Championship alone— more than any other company that participates. Today, Ducati continues to produce a variety of versatile models invariably noted for their high-performance and quality.

10 Things You Need To Know About The Ducati Monster

Alex Sheets — Sun, 15 Jan 2023 13:01:15 GMT

Whether you're more interested in sports cars or perhaps cruisers, we have all at least heard of the Ducati Monster. Ducati's history as a company stretches back to 1923 to its days producing radio components, and then Ducati entered the motorcycle industry in 1950, having survived the Second World War. By the 60s the Italian manufacturer began breaking records with its Mach 1 250cc motorcycle, and independently produced large displacement V-twin engined by the 70s. Between the 50s and 2000s, Ducati changed ownership a number of times ranging from another Italian company to a Texas-based company and ultimately a German one; but despite these changes, in this time during the 90s, the Monster was unleashed. An instant classic, this Italian bike is a staple of its class. What was it that made the Ducati Monster so unique and so popular? How has it changed and remained relevant for so long?

You've Seen The Ducati DesertX, Now Check Out The Panigale V4 Track X

Punya Sharma — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 22:30:17 GMT

The Ducati DesertX is easily one of the finest motorcycles to come out of the Bologna factory in 2022. It might not boast 200 horsepower and mind-bending technology, but its USP is the epic ability to prevail in any type of terrain - a reason that made it TopSpeed’s best adventure motorcycle of 2022. But greedy motorcyclists like us want more, and the DesertX makes us think about how good other ‘X’ marked Ducatis will be. Popular designer Kar Lee also belongs to the same club, but he has the talent to bring ideas to digital reality. So, putting his ability to good use, the designer has imagined a Ducati Panigale V4 Track X that follows in similar footsteps as the DesertX, and it looks stunning.

TopSpeed’s Best Adventure Motorcycle of 2022: Ducati DesertX

Punya Sharma — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 13:31:17 GMT

The adventure motorcycle segment has grown exponentially in recent times, and with good reason. After all, well-built adventure motorcycles are versatile enough to help you tackle uncharted terrain, cover never-ending highways, and even have fun in the twisties, all without breaking a sweat. Thanks to its growth, there are several ‘good’ adventure motorcycles you can consider spread from as low as the 400cc Royal Enfield Himalayan to the top-shelf 170-HP Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally. But to be the ‘best’ in the business, an ADV needs a great blend of giggle-worthy performance, top-shelf electronics, on-road and off-road capabilities and, most importantly, a not-so-bank-breaking price tag. Taking all this into account (and a lot of caffeine), we think the Ducati DesertX ticks the most boxes, which is why it’s our best adventure motorcycle of 2022. Here are some of the reasons.

Crazy Drag Race: Ducati Panigale V4 SP Takes On The World’s Fastest Electric Car

Punya Sharma — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 22:30:16 GMT

We’ve recently seen some fantastic motorcycle vs car drag races. And things seem to only get better as faster automobiles come into the picture. Case in context is Hagerty’s latest drag race, which pits the Ducati V4 SP against the new Lucid Air Sapphire. The interesting bit here is the fact that the latter is claimed to be the world’s fastest production car (yes, even faster than the Bugatti Chiron and Tesla Model S Plaid) while the Ducati is already an established rocket in a straight line and on a racetrack. Basically, it has all the ingredients for a super-tight drag race.

Ducati Panigale V4 MotoGP And WSBK World Champion Replicas Make You Feel Like Bagnaia And Bautista

Punya Sharma — Fri, 16 Dec 2022 14:30:16 GMT

2022 has been a remarkable year for Ducati as it took home the MotoGP world title with Francesco Bagnaia and the WSBK title with Alvaro Bautista, the firsts since 2009 and 2011, respectively. This dreamy feat calls for celebration, and the Bolognese giant has unveiled two special Panigale V4 S models to do exactly that. Dubbed the World Champion Replicas, these intend to make you feel like Bagnaia and Bautista, and only 520 motorcycles (260 per replica) will go into production. This makes them even more exotic than Ducati’s MotoGP-spec 2007 Desmosedici RR.

These 10 Sport Bikes Laid The Foundation For The Ducati Panigale V4

Harry Fisher — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 20:00:16 GMT

Since 1971, Ducati has been defined by one element: its V-Twin engine. This bellowing piece of engineering grew from the initial 750cc version all the way up to the 1299 of 2014, at which point Ducati’s engineers realized that they had taken the concept as far as it could go. Some commentators saw the introduction of the V4 engine in the Panigale as heresy, but there is no doubt that the configuration is the future of the Ducati sports bike. But it couldn’t exist without what came before, so to fully appreciate the Panigale V4, here is every Ducati sports bike that added its own DNA to the line.

This Is How The Electric Motorcycle Market Could Look In 2023

Harry Fisher — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 22:01:16 GMT

The 2035 deadline for the phasing out of internal combustion engines in motorcycles and automobiles is nothing new, but it is inching ever nearer, and as evidence, manufacturer involvement in developing electric models is ramping up. Despite that, the manufacturers realize that convincing the motorcycle-riding population that electric motorcycles can give the same thrills as petrol-driven ones are going to be an uphill struggle, but it is one they have to attempt as the legislation is not going anywhere. Into 2023, most of the major motorcycle manufacturers will all have either electric or hybrid models on sale or at advanced stages of development so here is a run-down of what you might expect to see.

This Gorgeous Ducati MH900e Evoluzione Was The First Motorcycle To Sell Online

Punya Sharma — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 12:30:16 GMT

Ducati has a lot of iconic motorcycles in its portfolio, but nothing comes close to its MH900e Evoluzione. The motorcycle pays homage to the legendary Grand Prix racer Mike Hailwood and is still christened as one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever. A fitting title, considering it came from Pierre Terblanche’s creative sword (read pen). This, however, is just the tip of the iceberg as there's more to what makes the MH900e iconic, including its sale process.

Andra DelMonico — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 20:00:17 GMT

Look at pictures of motorcycles long enough, and you start seeing some obvious trends. One of the easiest trends to see is with the colors. Motorcycle manufacturers stay on brand by designing colorways that stick with their brand colors. That way, anyone that sees their bike roll by will immediately know who made the bike without much effort. This is an easy branding tool and one that all manufacturers use.

Instead, these 10 bikes break free with some of the best motorcycle colorways of 2022.

Punya Sharma — Sun, 27 Nov 2022 16:30:16 GMT

Andra DelMonico — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 12:00:15 GMT

Not all of us have the opportunity to hop on a superbike and take it for a cruise around the world’s MotoGP tracks.

In 2002, a new era of Grand Prix racing commenced, with 990cc, four-stroke engines replacing the 500cc, two-stroke engines that had ruled the class since 1975.

Check Out The World’s Most Beautiful Ducati MH900E

Punya Sharma — Sun, 20 Nov 2022 11:30:16 GMT

Pierre Terblanche is one of the most celebrated motorcycle designers in the world, and the Ducati MH900E ranks top of the list of his creations. The MH900E has millions of fans all around the world, and since only 2,000 of these were ever built, it’s hard to find one and even harder to afford. London’s Gareth Roberts faced the same dilemma when he wanted to gift himself an MH900E but couldn’t afford one. The want was greater than the limitations, though, so the director took matters into his own hands and built an MH900E of his own that’s actually more beautiful than the real deal.

Top 10 Motorcycle Engine Configurations

Harry Fisher — Sat, 19 Nov 2022 22:00:16 GMT

The engine is the heart of any motorcycle, much more so than in a car. In a motorcycle, the engine is not only the motive force but also a large part of the visual impact of the motorcycle, not to mention often being a structural element as the engine is used as a stressed member. The motorcycle engine has come a long way since the days of rudimentary single-cylinder units producing a few horsepower. Virtually, every configuration of engines has been used to power motorcycles, right up to the modern-day obsession with electric motors. They are a whole other story, however. For this list, we are going to concentrate on the internal combustion engine in all its various forms: a celebration of the power units that have shaped our lives for 120 years and which look set to disappear in the not-too-distant future.
