Weighing in at just 157kg with over 270bhp on tap, MotoGP machines are the finest motorcycles the human race can produce, capable of mind-boggling lap times, 63-degree lean angles and top speeds well in excess of 200mph. But while they might be the most capable bikes in the world, what are they actually like to ride?
End-of-season tests for the world motorcycle press used to be an annual occurrence after the final round of the season at Valencia, but the global have-a-go sessions were brought to a halt way back in 2007 following a run of expensive crashes.
Nine years later and MCN’s guest road tester and BT Sport MotoGP presenter Neil Hodgson is about to leave pit lane on the very Ducati Desmosedici GP16 on which Andrea
Iannone secured his first victory since 2010 at the Red Bull Ring this summer.
It’s taken close to a decade for any manufacturer to let a civilian out on their priceless machine and even then it’s not a ‘normal’ rider, it’s Hodgson, a man that still has a place in Ducati’s heart having won the World Superbike championship for them back in 2003.
After taking a few minutes to calm down, Hodgson spoke to MCN about the once-in-a-lifetime experience. This is what he said…

The Millville, N.J. race is the nearest the series has to a home race for the team as well as the closest to New York City, making this effort especially meaningful for lead rider Corey Alexander.

When the Italians decide to invent a cruiser to fight for a wedge of Harley pie you know it’s going to be at the very least worthy of your attention and at most an exercise in soul-pleasing psychotic overkill. In the case of the 2016 Ducati XDiavel, it is both. And much more. But in two words, this machine is, as its name unsubtly implies, evil perfected.

Ducati have never been so suited to off-road . Acceptable choice, because now the bikes looking (and the skills) off road are all the rage. The Multistrada 1200 Enduro will not stay long one, because in Borgo Panigale, the process of "endurizzazione" of the range is not yet finished and the Saloni 2016 will see yet another creature created to satisfy the desire for versatility and to amplify the concept of " motorcycle without borders ". The transformation of the object will be the Scrambler 800, used as a base to build a Enduro version , characterized by all the changes necessary to drive smoothly on the roads that have never known the asphalt.
