So after 3.5 years on a Hyperstrada 939 I've decided to make the change to a MS 1260 S.

Very excited to be collecting this tomorrow. It's a 2019 with 5.5k on and touring pack plus it's got an evotech tail tidy and the full Termi and the upmap.

The passion for Ducati has never been greater. With 59,447 motorcycles sold worldwide, 2021 is the best year ever
Ducati concluded 2021 with a record figure of 59,447 motorcycles delivered to customers all over the world and achieving an increase in sales of + 24% over 2020 (48,042) and + 12% over 2019 (53,183).

Claudio Domenicali, Ducati CEO: “2021 was a magical year for Ducati. We delivered over 59,000 motorcycles, a number never achieved before in 95 years of the company's history. We also won the title of MotoGP Constructors' World Champion for the second consecutive year, and we started the electric era of our company with the V21L prototype, which foresees the bike that will race in the MotoE championship from 2023. The pandemic, which is still underway, in addition to generating so much suffering, has also made activities more complex, forcing us to conduct a continuous internal reorganization. Supply chains created delivery delays for which I want to apologize to all...

Hey everyone! I am coming back from 12 years out of the Ducati game after being hit by a red light runner on my Hypermotard 1100S. But, got the green light and decided to buy a Panigale V4S! At first I was going to buy a V4R but that would have ate up my budget and I really wanted something more unique that I helped create. Anyways, I'm too lazy to do a build thread but here is what I did over the last 6 months. I went mostly matte carbon but added some details in gloss carbon to give it some depth. Really happy with how it turned out. Excuse some of the dirt and finger prints in the pics... Too excited that I finished it to wipe it down fully.

Akrapovic Full Titanium Exhaust

Fullsix Matte Carbon Fairings (Side, Nose, Inner Side, Tank Cover)
Fullsix Matte Carbon One-Piece Belly Pan

Fullsix Gloss Carbon Headlight Holder
Fullsix Gloss Carbon Intake Covers...

Dear Ducati enthusiasts,

my name is Ralf Altmann, I am 57 years old and I am writing from Siegen, a smaller City in Germany, where I live with my wife and our 11 year old daughter.
I know, this is the right place and golden opportunity to introduce myself and to post a picture of my bike...but in fact I must admit, that I do not own a Ducati...nevertheless, one or the other piece has its home in my garage...
Now before someone reminds me, that the Yamaha fan club has its headquarter in the land of the rising sun... .. I have to say that initially I came here via the "search functionality" (I was looking for a specific Dainese jacket).
Beside some other hobbies, bikes and vintage cars are my passion...but I am not affiliated with any particular brand. There are so many beautiful vehicles out there, I want to ride as much and as long as I can...
I wish to all of us always a safe ride...
Ralf

Cheers to the people who love us, the losers who lost us, and the lucky bastards who are yet to meet us

I hope you all have a great night with your families and friends!!

And hopefully the world will come to its senses, sooner rather than later and we can get back to some normality!!

Finally I look forward to seeing you at some point during 2022

Ciao,

My name is Simone from Italy, Tuscany to be a bit more precise and I’m a new Ducati owner. I actually can’t believe it as I have had everything so far except Ducati… but things have changed. Got in love with a Diavel just before Christmas and now here we are. My son is in love too. Thanks to let me in and for the future inspiration.

Nice little tank wrap done yesterday!

Mines already done, uninstall facebook & never visit again.

Goodbye meta

Finally got my Bayliss just before Christmas. Has anyone else had there's yet?

Good evening all,

Last week I took delivery of what I can only describe as my dream bike a 2003 Yellow 749S Mono. Appreciate the 749/999 generation weren’t to everyone’s design taste but I have always liked them and finally got to a position where I could afford it.

I spent a while searching about until I came across this one, it’s got 8000 miles on it, has just had the belts serviced and came complete with all service books, keys etc.

I bought it from Leeds but live in Aberdeen so had to have it couriered up North. It’s currently moved a total distance of driveway to garage but it’s being stored in a “bike bubble” as condensation at this time of year is nightmare.

Looking forward to sharing some photos…when I can work out how…

Cheers,

Cammy

Finally got the single rear seat conversion done.

New rear seat unit, original seat pad and rear cushion, replacement under-tray, remade the exhaust hangers and SPO rear frame.

Now I have 3 bikes in 1, depending on how the mood takes me (can't do that with one of the SP models, with the prices they are now making).

Strada with low level pipes and rear seat and pegs
Full on cosmetic SP5 tribute
Foggy NW200 1993 double winner (Hopefully by Spring)
The bits are coming together.

Hi all, thanks for adding me to the group. Just recently got a yellow 600 Monster 1997 and slowly working through all the problems I didn't see when I was buying it because I was so excited I could afford a Ducati! Needless to say it's going to be more expensive than I anticipated. But at least it will stay on the road. Look out for lots of questions..... Here's a pic from a sunny ride a few weeks ago.

A good turn-out today for the annual Presidents Boxing Day ride here in South Australia. Good ride through the Adelaide Hills with a sunny 23* ending up at a pub for lunch.

That Desmosedici is LOUD - made my 1100 HM seem quiet when I was following it!

This bike doesn't get anywhere near enough use so considering letting it go. 8500 miles, in lovely condition. No tank swelling that I can see

Includes:
Full Termi system
New clutch plate and cover
Fleda tail light
Higher biposto clip ons
Various custom chrome parts (chain guard, underseat pan, heel guards etc).

Had an oil change by me last month and had new fuel lines installed, but is currently due a belt change

£10,950 firm
Bike located in Durham

It's been another weird year of highs and lows, but the consistency has been the camaraderie of the Forum.

I have laughed, cried, expletived, and cheered at the amazing content and contributions from you all.

I am not sure I could have made it through 2021 without you.

Thanks to you all and best wishes for 2022.

Paul55.

Started taking bits off at start of lockdown to get to some flaky engine paint and never really stopped.
Finished a while back but life yet again got in the way. Only ridden 100 miles but it was a fantastic 100 miles and that’s what counts.
Removed engine, found oil leak on vertical cylinder. Painted engine by hand. Side cases powder coated, valve covers powder coated. Valves cleaned and lapped, all valve clearances now correct. Getting shims during lockdown was a ball ache. Exact fit belts fitted. Hand polished all pipes. Most fasteners replated at local place. All gaskets and O rings replaced. Ohlins shock serviced, spring powder coated. TPS reset, throttle bodies balanced. All bodywork repainted by dream machine. She looks and rides beautiful.

Seven hours forty nine minutes of daylight today but it gets lighter by two minutes seven seconds a day from now on.

Summer is almost here !

Just finished this little wrap on this 1299

The Ducati MotoE bike took to the track for the first time at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, right where the agreement with Dorna Sports was announced in October. In fact, starting from the 2023 season, the Borgo Panigale motorcycle manufacturer will be the sole supplier of motorcycles for the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup, the electric class of the MotoGP™ World Championship.

The electric motorcycle prototype, code-named "V21L", is the result of the joint work of the Ducati Corse team and the Ducati R&D engineers, led by Roberto Canè, Ducati eMobility Director, and was taken out on track by Michele Pirro, professional rider and Ducati test rider since 2013, who evaluated the technical characteristics and potential of Ducati’s first electric motorcycle.

Roberto Canè, Ducati eMobility Director: “We are experiencing a truly extraordinary moment. I find it hard to believe it is reality and still not a dream! The first electric Ducati on the track is exceptional not only for...
