Due to the current COVID-19 situation, Ducati has taken the 2021 model releases online in a series of weekly ‘Appointments’. Every Wednesday starting on November 4th, Ducati will show us the new line up.
Recent years has seen Ducati launch new bikes and revisions every year. These new bikes total large numbers, and we know that there are at least three new Ducati models for 2021.
The already ‘released’ Multistrada V4 is coming, as the new Granturismo engine has been talked about previously, and Ducati themselves have highly publicised the bikes new radar-guided cruise control.
Ducati has remained relatively quiet on new releases!
Other than this info, Ducati has released very little on any other new models. We would expect to see an update to the V4R, as it is two years since its release, and Ducati will want to maximise its advantage for the WSBK series.
Did you see Scott Redding’s title-winning V4R for sale?
Gossip also suggests a new water-cooled Monster, with a wealth of updates but the biggest is swapping the iconic trellis frame, in favour of a more modern aluminium box frame.
There has also been talk of a new Diavel updating it to meet Euro5 standards, and also talk of a limited edition Lamborghini version. Of course, both Ducati and Lamborghini are VAG owned so some mutual back-scratching could be on the cards.
Winter is here, time to dig out the textiles?
Ducati also never turn down an opportunity to show off, so expect some fireworks from the Ducati Corse side, and also an update to the Scrambler side of the brand. The exciting DesertX shown as a concept at last years Milan EICMA show will no doubt feature.
With 5 episodes starting November 4th through to December 2nd, over all of Ducati’s social media pages we don’t have long to wait to find out!
- How much does a Euro trackday really cost?
Motorcycling isn’t a cheap hobby, regardless of what aspect you do. From riding on the road to track days, Motocross, trials, or even just watching, it takes a lot of hard-earned to get started. With the rapidly worsening road conditions, decreasing speed limits, dashcam heroes and standards of driving these days, it’s not uncommon for… Read More »How much does a Euro trackday really cost? - WMC250EV continues on track to take electric speed record!
It’s infrequent yet refreshing these days to find somebody straying from the norm and doing different, going off at tangents to everybody else, with a similar target in mind, radically thinking outside the box, for a new way to hit the same target. Ironically, I found one such example at MotoGP 2021 Silverstone with the… Read More »WMC250EV continues on track to take electric speed record! - Triumph motorcycles releases Speed Triple 1200RR: The most technically advanced Speed Triple yet!
Since teaser images were released a few weeks ago, we knew Triumph was working on something sportier, with most hoping for a fully-faired Superbike slayer from the British firm. The teaser images showed a new sportier-looking front end and seat cowl but strategically hid the sides and fairings, getting sportsbike fans rather hot under the… Read More »Triumph motorcycles releases Speed Triple 1200RR: The most technically advanced Speed Triple yet! - Triumph backs the struggling hospitality industry in new ‘Ride out to help out campaign.’
The Covid-19 pandemic has hit the hospitality industry hard, with many restaurants, pubs and other biker meeting places and food outlets being forced to close. Triumph has decided to launch their own version of ‘Eat Out to Help Out’, dubbed ‘ Ride Out to Help Out’, original. The campaign encourages bikers to get out and… Read More »Triumph backs the struggling hospitality industry in new ‘Ride out to help out campaign.’ - What is E10 fuel and can I use E10 in my bike?
Dubbed the biggest change to petrol forecourts since 4star was dropped back in 2000, the new E10 (10% ethanol) petrol grade could have a huge impact to all motorists. We all use petrol (bar electric bikers), and with petrol making up most fuel types (electric and cake powered after running out of petrol), all of… Read More »What is E10 fuel and can I use E10 in my bike?
