Even though we only in the first quarter of 2013, I feel as though I have already featured a year's worth of Ducati Sport 1000 Cafe Racer builds! So when I saw Geoff Rossi's Moto Brilliance Ducati on The Bike Shed I was hesitant to repost it, that was at least until I read through the build thread on the Ducati Sport Classic forum. To label this bike as simply a Sport 1000 would be a big mistake.

One of the strangest episodes in Ducati racing history took place in Australia in 1975. At the time, production racing Down Under was dominated by Kawasaki Z1s. Delete the scoop?

I really like this. I think there should be more of these smaller 'fun' bikes on the market. This little buzzer looks hot...and fun.

Mr. Gobmeier, that is the job of the other teams. It is Ducati that ignored the problems and allowed it to get into the mess that is today. Dude, your behind....time to quit blaming the other teams and get busy on you getting ahead of them. Just saying.....

In previous tales I had analysed Motosprint's articles related to the recent Jerez test (a January issue) accompanying my observations with photos and confirming amongst other things, that Pirro's bike indeed appeared to have something new. In my last article I suggested how the works team was modifying weight distribution on the GP13 or “GP12 Evo 2” with different airbox covers with a possible additional fuel tank. By shifting weight forward the aim was to make the rideability smoother and more agile as confirmed by Dovizioso in GPOne's article....

Here’s what we have so far. Desmo Veloce, located in Phoenix, AZ, is a newly formed performance shop specializing in Ducati performance. It’s owned and operated by longtime AMA Ducati technician Richard Boyd. Richard signed Garrett Willis to ride a Ducati for the 2013 season but last weekend while testing at Chuckwalla, Willis was injured and Desmo Veloce did not have a rider for the Daytona 200. Lucky for Richard, he worked with the 2006 Daytona 200 winner Jake Zemke last year on the Ducshop team and the call was made. Our sources tell us that Zemke who finished 6th last year and 3rd the year before in the 200 has agreed to fill in for Willis and race the Daytona 200. Jake has set pole in the past and you better believe that he’s going to be a contender.

The Hypermotard has been redesigned to be more user-friendly while also being less maintenance-intensive. Ronda, Spain—If there was one complaint we had about the first-generation Ducati Hypermotard, it was a lack of versatility. Its unforgiving riding position and wedge-like seat made escaping even your own neighborhood an uncomfortable exercise in willpower. But if you did manage to venture out and find a tight, twisty road, the payoff was awesome. Comfort, however, is not an issue with Ducati’s new 2013 Hypermotard. Its riding position is far more relaxed, thanks to a taller handlebar and more than 3 extra inches of space between the bar and seat. Additionally, the footpegs have been moved forward by almost 3 inches, helping to create a more upright riding position. Delete the scoop?

Usher cruises through New York on Ducati Monster... days after arrest is made in step-son's homicide
He hit headlines last week when a jet ski operator accused of killing his step-son last summer was arrested. And it looked like Usher was taking his mind off the heartache by taking his motorcycle out for a spin in New York on Saturday. The star wore a green body warmer over a camouflage jacket, black jeans and red high top trainers as he hopped on his Ducati and cruised around Manhattan.
