DUCATI

Say Ducati and eyes light up. For sport motorcyclists, Ducati is the embodiment of high performance engineering, commitment to championship racing and total dedication to Italian design.

1946: the birth of the “Cucciolo” (Puppy), little more than a 4-stroke engine strapped onto a bicycle, takes Italy by storm. Hundreds of thousands of "Puppies" are sold.

1950s: the Marianna and the first 250 cc bikes are launched – destined for GP racing and victory.

1970s: the revolutionary Desmodromic system of engineer Fabio Taglioni is applied to the Ducati 750 at the historic 200 Miles of Imola in 1972 – marking the first time that a big twin has the power to beat a Japanese in-line four cylinder.

1980s and 90s: the 851 wins at Daytona in 1987 – leading to a string of Superbike victories unmatched in the history of racing. The 916 and its progeny – the 996, 998 and 999 – reign supreme on the racetrack.

Today: speed records obtained by the Desmosedici of Loris Capirossi power Ducati into the future.

NEW LIMITED DUCATI CORSE

For Ducati, winning the MotoGP Championship was an award for a collaborative effort that began a long time ago, in which a painstaking care for bikes was the constant factor for building success on the track and in the marketplace. In the splendid manufacture of the Ducati Corse Limited Edition, one can appreciate the fine details - the milling on the barrel end, the groove for elastic bands on the piston's head, the enveloping shape of the clip.

These writing jewels are not only a tribute to the MotoGP Championship winners but also a flawless synthesis of technological and aesthetic harmony. Only 500 fountain pens and 500 rollers available worldwide.

Resulting from research and development between designers from Bologna and the Aquila Brands, the Ducati sport pen evokes the motorcycle design and technology that has achieved so many breathtaking victories on racetracks around the world and made “Born in Borgo Panigale” a force to be reckoned in the world of competition.
