Ducati Malaysia holds exclusive preview of all-new Ducati Scrambler exclusive for Asia Ducati Week 2014.
Its finally out in the flesh, after months of teasing which included Gumby style video clips, Ducati rolled it out in Intermot ending the debates we been having about the actual look of the Ducati Scrambler. (more…)
A report has surfaced online indicating that British media are carrying a story about a possible buy off of MV Augusta by Mercedes-AMG.
The story was first carried by Top Gear UK and if the report is indeed true, then Mercedes-AMG is already well into preparing to make a bid to buy the famous Italian motorcycle producer. (more…)
The Ducati 1199 Superleggera is peerless. It is basically a road-going replica of Ducati’s MotoGP race bikes. It is beautiful, meticulously detailed, and is built by the same guys who build Dovizioso and Crutchlow’s bikes during their down time from racing.
So one does not simply give up the chance to photograph the Superleggera when a chance is offered to you. And because we were not going to ride or mess around with a bike that costs about RM600,000, we photographed it indoors, pampered it with air-conditioning, and got some hot girls to rub it up gently. Those pictures however are for another time and place. (more…)
The Ducati 899 Panigale is not a new bike to the market, it was first launched last year, but at that time it was imported and cost RM108,888 (US$34,000). (more…)
The third and last episode in the Ducati Scrambler “Franco & Elvira Story” is out; it finally shows the basic shape (though putty like) as Franco takes Elvira to the World Ducati Week.
If you had missed them, the videos – the plasticine protagonists of which were hand-made by three talented nineteen-years-olds from Bologna – tell an imaginative story of how the Scrambler Ducati ended up in the present day.
As the storyline goes, Franco, a man from 2078, is catapulted by a time machine (which somehow looks very similar to the Delorean from the Back To The Future movie) back to the Woodstock festival of August 1969 where he meets and falls in love with both Scrambler Ducati and Elvira.
They joyously elope on the bike, yet before the two can even kiss the time machine hurls them forwards to the present day, to 2014. Franco and Elvira find themselves directly in front of the fabulous “yellow container” – first visited by Ducati employees and then the enthusiasts who flocked to WDW 2014 – from which they exit astride the new Scrambler Ducati.
Unfortunately, it will be almost another two months before we get to see the actual bike when it is officially presented on 30th September during Intermot 2014 in Cologne, Germany. View the video below.

In a surprising twist to the on-going saga between British rider Cal Crutchlow and the Ducati MotoGP team, the Italian team has officially announced that Crutchlow will be leaving the team at the end of this season.
Ducati Corse officially announced in a short communique that Crutchlow’s contract will be terminated ahead of time while his replacement will be Andrea Iannone.
With Andrea Dovizioso and Iannone confirmed for 2015, the Ducati Corse racing team will be an all-Italian team again after Rossi switched back to Yamaha.
Iannone previously raced for the Pramac Racing team.
Icons come in many forms, and the Ducati Monster is one of the most recognisable icons of our generation. It is the essence of Ducati, it is the bike that saved Ducati, (more…)
