Hello ladies and gents today we are going to talk about the great brand called
DUCATI
Ducati is an Italian company group, headquartered in Borgo Panigale, Bologna, Italy. The group is owned by German automotive manufacturer Audi through its Italian subsidiary Lamborghini, which is in turn owned by the Volkswagen Group.[1]
The group currently comprises four companies:
Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A., previously known as Ducati Meccanica
Ducati Corse, which runs the Ducati racing program and is wholly owned by Ducati Motor Holding
Ducati Energia, formerly known as Ducati Elettronica, a designer and manufacturer of electrical and electronic components and systems
Ducati Sistemi, a subsidiary of Ducati Energia, which provides electronic and information-technology products for road transport, railway transport, and transport automation applications
In the 1930s and 1940s, Ducati manufactured radios, cameras, and electrical products such as razors. Ducati also made a marine binocular called the BIMAR for the Kriegsmarine during World War II, some of which were sold on the civilian market after the war. The Ducati Sogno was a half-frame Leica-like camera which is now a collector's item. Ducati and Bianchi have developed and launched a new line of racing bicycles.
Ducati Motor Holding often uses electrical components and subsystems from Ducati Energia.
BEST THEY HAVE:
Scrambler Icon
The Ducati Scrambler is a L-twin engined standard or roadster motorcycle made by Ducati. The Scrambler was introduced at the 2014 Intermot motorcycle show, with US sales beginning in 2015, in seven configurations: the 803 cc (49.0 cu in) Classic, Urban Enduro, Icon, Flat Track Pro, Full Throttle, Italia Independent, and the 399 cc (24.3 cu in) Sixty2.
The Scrambler name and design concept are a revival of the Scrambler line of dual-sport singles made from 1962–1974. While the retro design incorporates some motocross elements such as the handlebar and brake pedal, the bikes are intended for street use only and are not adapted to off-road riding. The Urban Enduro version, while not literally an enduro motorcycle, has additional off-road oriented components, namely wire wheels, a handlebar cross bar brace, fork protectors, a sump guard, a headlight grill, and Pirelli MT60 dual-sport tires, and Ducati says the bike "may be used occasionally on dirt trail" but it is not designed for "heavy off-road use". Cycle World's Don Canet said, "tackling fire roads and mild single-track is well within the Scrambler role".
The Scrambler bikes' engines and frames are made at Ducati's Borgo Panigale, Italy, factory and then shipped to Thailand for final assembly. Production began in December 2014.
As of 2017 there are six different variations of the Ducati Scrambler model they are the Sixty2, Icon, Classic, Full Throttle, Café Racer, and Desert Sled.
Cycle World tested the 803 cc Scrambler Icon's acceleration from 0 to 1⁄4 mile (0.00 to 0.40 km) at 12.46 seconds at 170.64 km/h (106.03 mph), and 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph) in 3.7 seconds. The Icon's braking distance was 97 to 0 km/h (60 to 0 mph) of 39 m (129 ft)
