Ducati 848

The look and stance of the 848 and 1098 were designed by the combination of race track technology, track-derived components and Ducati heritage. Their striking aerodynamic shape naturally embraces a riding position, configured by our racers and test riders for optimum speed and agility.
The new Ducati Superbikes immediately strike you with their purposeful, no-nonsense attitude. Performance is first and foremost in every detail. Trademark Ducati features like the high tail section and compact front-end meld with twin under-seat silencers and single-sided swingarm to express aerodynamics and agility.

KTM 950 SM

”This is really a motorbike with a capital ’M’ for me” I think to myself inside my helmet after riding several miles on the KTM 950 Supermoto. There are loads of dream bikes out there and I have ridden most of them. But even so, the 950 SM rumbles the loudest of my built-in Richter scale. However, 990 Superduke is speedier on the motorway and the engine sings in my head until it takes over. But which shall I choose?

Well, the Milan show is just around the corner, and we've just got the first images of the new bikes we'll see there. Benelli is a name many of us thought had bit the dust big time, tripped up by typically Italian financial problems. And although there were ill-founded rumours - printed in Motor Cycle News - of a link-up with TVR, Benelli is now in the hands of a Chinese firm, Qianjiang. And it's Chinese cash that has helped produce the Tornado 1130 pictured here.
