Ducati released their new ss / fg bike this weekend at the Moto GP race in Laguna-Seca:






The new bikes are built by Cycle Europe and will be available in about 5 weeks.

that looks awful. i hope no one ever buys it. why a big brand would build something that's so obviously low quality is beyond me.

I wonder if Nicky Hayden, one of Ducati's factory riders, will ever be seen in promoting that. Hayden (and quite a few other motorcycle racers) are sponsored by Specialized.

Seems like it's another quarter assed effort by Motorcycle manufacturers to promote themselves to cyclists. Ducati had worked with Bianchi, in their past efforts. Though never to quite a such a <ahem> level. Had they worked with Bianchi again, on say, a Super Pista or Pista, even...

Maybe it's got a tiny desmo motor hidden inside the frame.

It's amazing to see how much credibility Ducati has lost in the past few years.

Doesn't look legit... Nothing about it on Duc's website, and the logo font that says Ducati is all wrong. Look at their Bianchi model, it has the traditional white block lettering instead of the hollow looking one in this bike. I call shenanigans.

Here's the front view with the classic Ducati logo:



If you take a look at the Sport Classic bikes you will notice the same hollow lettering.

If it gets a few more people on a bike and riding around then I'm satisfied. I would never buy one and I think any knowledgeable rider would agree they aren't worth buying, but if it catches the eye of a few motorcycle fans and the cycling community grows that little bit extra, cool.
