Paddock Rumors: Jake Zemke BACK ON THE DUCATI FOR DAYTONA!!!

Paddock Rumors: Jake Zemke BACK ON THE DUCATI FOR DAYTONA!!! | Ductalk | Scoop.it

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.

MotorcycleUSA | Best Street Bike 2011: Ducati Multistrada | Best of 2011 Awards | Ductalk | Scoop.it
Motorcycle USA highlights its selection for Best Street Bike of 2011 and the winner is...

It’s no surprise the Ducati Multistrada repeats as Street Bike of the Year in 2011. At least it’s no surprise to anyone who’s ridden one. The ‘Strada proved one of the most exciting bikes to debut in the 2010 model year, with its gorgeous Italian lines backed up by a fire-breathing engine and stellar chassis. Nothing changed in 2011....more

MotorcycleUSA.com | Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart II Review

MotorcycleUSA.com | Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart II Review | Ductalk | Scoop.it
We put the Dunlops latest offering for sport-touring to the test.

Sport-touring riders are a special group. Better said, they are a well-rounded bunch. They want it all – speed, handling, long stretches of road and everything in between. With those waPostnts come needs. One of those is a set of tires that works in just about any situation, and works well. As a result developing a sport-touring tire is quite the undertaking for a tire manufacturer. Dunlop is up to the task and recently invited us to sample its latest and greatest – the Sportmax Roadsmart II.

MotorcycleUSA | Best Cruiser 2011: Ducati Diavel | Best of 2011 Awards

MotorcycleUSA | Best Cruiser 2011: Ducati Diavel | Best of 2011 Awards | Ductalk | Scoop.it

Motorcycle USA selects its favorite Cruiser in our Best of 2011 Awards - the Ducati Diavel.  

In the age of teaser videos, “spy” photos and orchestrated leaks, it’s difficult for a motorcycle to live up to its hype. Not so with the Ducati Diavel. The long-rumored Italian “power cruiser” is a genre-bending bike to be sure. While it dons a cruiser-ish stance, fat rear tire and low-slung looks, there’s the insane sportbike engine power, top-class brakes and advanced electronics.

The Ducati Diavel was one of the strangest rides to debut in 2011. It's also one of the most fun to ride!
Motorcycle USA couldn’t get enough of the Diavel in 2011, testing it multiple times to figure out just what the hell the Italian devil really was. In our Performance Cruiser Shootout it completely decimated its supposed competition. Adding it to our Streetfighter Comparison it finally met its match against nimbler rivals. Even so, the Diavel proved its premium performance – smoking the likes of the Speed Triple and Z1000 in 0–60 and quarter-mile tests. We also had a ball thrashing the new Duc at a trackday too. Try that on a typical cruiser! More...
