The impressive theatrical presentation of Ducati motorcycles also allowed the company president Gabriele Del Torchio report on the positive financial results of the Bolognese company.

In a market going through a rather complicated period, Ducati has continued to gain market share, increase production and global sales, confirming its strong position and emphasizing efficiency and good organization of the business.

“This is the result of hard and persistent work of men and women in our company. With our focus on the development of production, the investment growth thanks to our efforts to strengthen the credibility of our brand around the world, I have the opportunity with great pleasure to announce that 2011 was the most successful in the history of Ducati», – said del Torquay.

According to him, selling about 42 000 motorcycles, the company was saved by 480 million euros, up 20% more than last year.

A new superbike 1199 Panigale del Torquay said that he is a new benchmark in the world of sportbikes and without a doubt the most ambitious project Ducati, stressing “the perfection of technology and emotion of the product.” “We are particularly proud of the version in 3 colours version, in red, white and green colors of the Italian flag,” – he added.

Updated bike – it’s a new engine 848 Testastretta 11°, improved geometry, revised ergonomics and installed Ducati Traction Control.

The company also has published six of the first official photos of the new machine.

Orders for the new Ducati Streetfighter 848 accepted from November this year. Will be available in three colors – red for the traditionalists to the incorrigible optimists and yellow for those who like more impressive – a matte black.

Officially Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition will be presented at 64th International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany, which will be held from 15 to 25 September.

This will be the flagship of the family Diavel 2012, a kind of tribute to the luxury sports brand AMG.

Model Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition motorcycle is made on the basis of Diavel Carbon. In corporate news, “AMG” five-spoke alloy wheels, carbon fiber grille with aluminum trim, sport exhaust in the AMG-style seat and also in the AMG-style, clad alkantroy.

It should be noted that each engine is tuned individually by hand, and the name of the custom of his technique is engraved on the left side.

In addition, each bike will be numbered plate on the fuel tank, which further emphasizes its exclusivity. Bike will be offered only in matte black carboxylic performance, with firm white stripe AMG.

In addition to most motorcycles since the beginning of 2012 will have a set of accessories – leather jacket and exclusive design helmet.

He is a student of industrial design at Milan Polytechnic. The bike looks like some kind of mixture of European sporting style with elements from the caferacer.

Bike, according to the author’s concept was conceived primarily as an easy, simple and powerful. Antonioli took the classic Ducati Superlight, and redid it, but in a minimal way to simple electronics and a hundred horsepower the original does not hit hard.

The designer is determined to present his creation to the Ducati, believing that such an easy and powerful motorcycle can be very expensive, and according to his calculations, can cost 8000 euros, and thus in high demand. It must be a hundred horsepower and 120 kg of weight. “The perfect motorcycle”, – says Antonioli.

The bike is made on the basis of the previous model, RAD 02 Corsa and is intended to make a unique superbike yet lighter than its predecessor.

Miniature rear part is made of carbon fiber for the frame to get another ultra-light composite materials.

Author rear – Spanish designer Carlos Beltran. Limber – of the studio Dragon TT.

In fact, here in common with the previous “Corso” – only the tank, which, as stated in the studio, “too perfect to change something”.

Motor – ST3 desmo. Chassis – from the latest models superbike, but recycled in the aluminum version. Specifications are not specified, it is only known that the bike turned out for a few pounds lighter earlier version of RAD 02 Corsa, which weighed 130 kg.

Next gen Ducati Superbike when they write about that, often use tentative title Superquadrata, becoming more realistic shape.

According to unofficial information, the machine is in the final stages of development, and the first test copies of the latest superbikes have already been received for testing and evaluation of selected dealers worldwide.

On a new bike yet little is known, however, that we know almost for sure is that the car will be brand new, specially designed engine under it. Presumably, the volume of 1200 cubes or so.

Are also expected significant figures cylinder diameter and piston stroke, and accordingly, the power and torque. And, of course, a huge amount of electronics.

When will the premiere of the new bike is still unknown, it is possible that he will be presented this fall at the show EICMA-2011 in Milan.

Ducati Spite is fraught with the two sides of the soul. One is the extreme simplicity, another – the details and elaborate detail. According to the creators, Spite combines the comfort of urban maxi-scooter with aggression single Street Fighter. Front suspension custom design has several modes, including the City and Sport, and the road bike looks loose LEDs, making him look like an alien creature.

Lorenzo Andre Spreafico and Simon Campestre have a taste for bikes. Perhaps they are avid riders. At least, the degree of elaboration Ducati Spite leads to such thoughts. With interest are waiting for new works of designer duo.

According to the source, the Ducati is now considering all the segments of two-wheeled market, and choosing the most promising areas as selling superbike and other motor cycles has become increasingly difficult, the buyer is looking for a small scooter for the urban environment, where powerful motorcycles do not feel entirely comfortable.

It also said that the Ducati does not preclude the use of electric Maxi, but nothing definite about the power plants do not say.

We recall that not so long ago, BMW and Honda have also expressed a desire to engage seriously in the scooter, and have already been presented the first concept.

First of all, let’s stop the rumors about power – the official documentation says 162 hp and 127.5 Nm of torque. About the brakes, weight, and electronics we have already mentioned in this article, so there is nothing to add.

But on the back of the bus stop is more – of course, Diavel will not be as nimble as the 848 EVO. But the company has certainly made great efforts, with support from Pirelli. As a result, the rear wheel adorns the tires Pirelli Diablo Rosso II dimension 240/45 ZR17. As already mentioned, the buyers will be offered two versions of the motorbike. In addition to the standard will be available version of Carbon, lightweight at 3 kg by the use of carbon fiber body kit components, and lightweight forged wheels Marchesini.

But the most interesting part of this bike lies not in its characteristics. The main thing that interests us – will make a success among fans Diavel brand, and whether he will be a hit? Comes to mind is quite appropriate analogy from the automotive world – Porsche Cayenne has also been highly controversial and hotly debated (and also condemn the ardent fans of Porsche), but eventually everything came to some quite enchanting sales. What do you think, dear readers?

However, the interest is not even that single motorcycle, but the fact of lack of principle, the possibility of installing a second seat. The tail of this “devil” to limit short, and the presence of footrests for the passenger, it seems, just is not implied. Noticeable as some changes in the skirts, for example a motorcycle is now equipped with three-dimensional “fang”, directing the air flow to the lower radiator.

The question will be whether the Ducati Diavel eventually motorcycle for egoists, remains open. But if we consider the general illogic of this uniqueness Muscle cruiser, then very surprised we would not have.
