The best street-legal sportbike ever made Maybe so.
It doesn’t get much better than this. It’s 9 a.m. on a Tuscan spring day with not a cloud in the sky and the air fresh and cool – just right for maximum performance from the most powerful twin-cylinder production streetbike ever made, a motorcycle with the most aggressive power-to-weight ratio ever for a bike with lights and a license plate. And I’m about to let it rip on one of the world’s greatest racetracks, the Ferrari-owned Mugello Grand Prix circuit up in the hills above Florence, Italy with 10 laps in splendid solitude aboard the finest motorcycle currently available for purchase from any manufacturer anywhere in the world.

The situation at Ducati was the talk of the paddock in Barcelona. With Andrea Dovizioso, Andrea Iannone and Cal Crutchlow being linked to Suzuki, Crutchlow having a contract for 2015, Ducati keen to retain the services of both Dovizioso and Iannone, and Iannone openly pushing for a seat in the factory Ducati team, the Bologna factory faces a series of complex contract negotiations. To check on the state of play with Ducati, we cornered Ducati Corse's MotoGP Project Director Paolo Ciabatti.

Ducati motorcycles - the sightings continue the highly anticipated Ducati Scrambler, this time it was paparazzi with the colors and details that made immortal the original model of the years 60/70: superstructures yellow tank with chrome inserts, high handlebars, the line seems successful and as required by the decidedly retro fashion now -

Following the success of the Borgo Panigale event dedicated to its staff, Ducati intends offering the community an exclusive premiere of the new Ducati Scrambler in its prototype form, a private viewing reserved for all Ducatisti at the World Ducati Week 2014.
Nonconformist, affordable and essential, the new Ducati Scrambler reincarnates the values that made the motorcycle famous between the 60's and 70's, but in a totally renewed, contemporary style.
From July 18th to 20th, the Scrambler will be hitting the scene at the Misano World Circuit "Marco Simoncelli" along with a laid back, beach party feeling, plus music, longboards and the yellow container which houses the prototype of the new model, ready to be revealed to the Ducati community. Yet another reason not to miss WDW2014 which reaches its eighth edition this year, as ever ready to welcome thousands of fans from all corners of the world with countless surprises and activities planned to galvanize the three-day event and make sure it's "red" with passion.
On the evening of Friday July 18th the Ducati Scrambler will take centre stage during the "Scrambler Beach Party". Open to everybody, the party kicks off on a beach of the Adriatic Coast. And it's thanks to Ducati employees in Borgo Panigale that we had the idea to celebrate the new motorcycle in true Scrambler style.
The Beach Party will be the finish line of the big Ducati Parade, that will start from the circuit.
Stay Tuned - Lots of photos for you of course!

Audi announced its newest servicing technology, the ART robotic system on Tuesday; it will allow Audi technicians at Audi of America to virtually diagnose vehicles at Audi dealerships across the country.

Translated from Italian via Google:
The decision to use 17 inche Michelin tires when they return to MotoGP as the sole supplier in 2016 was ratified by the Grand Prix Commission. At Barcelona, in fact, was approved a regulatory change to allow the approval of the bikes with wheels larger image from next year, a necessary condition for testing the new tires.

Can America's new superbike go head to head with Europe's finest?
Beautiful late-afternoon desert sun made everything glow as if the light were coming from within all the objects in view. Even the weeds looked good.
But we are convinced the Erik Buell Racing 1190RX and Ducati 1199 Panigale do actually produce their own light—and not just from bulbs and LEDs.
A long day spent riding two world-class superbikes on the amazing 1.8-mile East Loop at Pahrump, Nevada’s Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, will have that effect on you.
