Originating in Bologna, Italy the same as Lamborghini , Ducati once made luxurious and expensive radios. However, with Italy's involvement in the Second World war, the Ducati factory became a target for allied bombing raids, resulting in its destruction. By the time World War II had concluded, Ducati had moved to an entirely new type of industry: motorcycles.
It became more and more obvious that motorcycles and cars would come to dominate the future of transportation. As such Ducati got to work on making self-pedaling bikes powered by small engines , which later evolved into their own motorcycles. When the s rolled around, motorsports was gaining traction. The rest is history - Ducati became a leader in the motorcycling community, as well as professional racing series', to boot!
Ducati is not a 'function over form' type of company or vice versa. Essentially, they won't necessarily sacrifice appearances for performance. Rather, integrating the two categories, form and function, together in an elegant package. Bikes like their Desmosedici RR and Superlegerra V4 are prime examples of what we're talking about. To us, bikes like these among others qualify as the world's most iconic sportbikes! A well-performing bike isn't just its outright speed, though.
In reality, a civilian motorist won't exceed the limits like those who would on-track. Along with the engine reliability, it is a good idea to regularly check over all parts during maintenance. The Ducati Monster does almost everything right.
The performance is good and the bike also gets quality cycle parts. There is no problem as such with the bike, but the problem lies in the competition.
Both the Street Triple S and the Z offer a lot more power and better performance. Tabletop role-playing games. Why Ducati is so expensive? Or not the masses. Each Ducati is made in relatively limited production. This, in addition to their being handmade with precise details in Italy, is a contributing factor as to why these magnificent motorcycle machines retail for so high. On this Adventure Rider forum the question is posed in a thread: are Ducati motorcycles more expensive to maintain than Japanese bikes?
The answers vary, but it seems that there are rumors that the valves can be incredibly expensive and complicated to work on. Some users claim that Japanese bikes are more reliable and cheaper to maintain, while other forum members argue that the high maintenance costs are a myth. Overall, however, one thing is clear. So, who exactly is going to fork up the same amount of money as a house for what is essentially a toy on two wheels?
It certainly beats me, but there surely are mega rich people out there who can make the most of Ducati's most powerful and technologically advanced motorcycle ever.
In case you didn't know, the Superleggera V4 is in fact a street-legal motorcycle. Yes, I know it's absolutely crazy. How can a horsepower, kg superbike be allowed for road use? It's pretty amazing, no doubt, but to call it just a bit excessive would be quite an understatement.
