Ducati concept bikes by Jakusa Design are out of this world!

Jakusa Design has released some interesting concept designs for some of present and older Ducati bikes with some pretty futuristic updates.

According the latest report made by Reuters, the possibility of the Volkswagen Group letting go of Ducati seems inevitable but the main question remains on who will be “The Chosen One”. As of now, they have been receiving quite a few bids and offers from companies and firms that are not even remotely close to the motoring industry. In some cases, that might be a good thing. (more…)
