Ducati dealers across the UK will launch Ducati’s 2008 Model year range on the weekend of the 15th and 16th March. The Open Weekend will give the Ducati dealer network the opportunity to proudly present the fastest growing motorcycle brand in the UK and the strongest Ducati model range to date. Visitors will have the opportunity to enter a prize draw to win 2 tickets for a hospitality package at a round of the 2008 British Superbike Championship.
Ducati UK and MotorSport Vision have announced they will continue their collaboration in 2008 following last years’ hugely popular MSV Ducati Track Days. The previous year’s dates at Cadwell Park and Brands Hatch offered Motorcyclists the chance to not only ride their own bike on track but also ride one of the Ducati UK demonstrator motorcycles.
Ducati attend this year’s London Motorcycle Show on the back of a phenomenal 2007 for the Italian manufacturer. Last year saw one of the strongest model line ups ever to leave the Bologna production line bringing success both on and off the track. While the 1098 was winning awards and acclaim throughout the world, Ducati was dominating the MotoGP Championship in a remarkable season that saw Casey Stoner claim the World Championship and helped Ducati to the constructors' crown and teams' title.
The 1098 immediately strikes you with its purposeful, no-nonsense attitude. Performance is first and foremost in every detail. Trademark Ducati features like the high tail section and compact front-end meld with twin under-seat silencers and single-sided swingarm to express its aerodynamics and agility. Add the new Testastretta Evoluzione engine at the heart of the machine and you get an all-out performance Ducati Superbike that seems to be moving fast, even when at rest.
