Ducati Roadshow to attend BikeWise 2010

2010-06-22T11:54:00.001+01:00

The Ducati Roadshow continues in 2010 bringing its event truck and demonstration fleet to even more events and bike meetings throughout the UK than last year.

The demonstrator fleet showcases the 2010 range including the new and much heralded Multistrada 1200. The Multistrada will be undoubtedly be a popular choice to test ride as this ‘four-bikes-in-one’ has wowed many with its performance, versatility and technological advancement.
Although the Multistrada will be the beacon of attention for many, it will not be overshadowed by a test fleet that includes the iconic Monsters - now with an ABS option, the Hypermotard 796 and 1100 Evo, the muscular Streetfighter and the fleet would not be complete without its majestic Superbikes including the stunning 1198 and the cornering gem that is the 848.
To take a test ride at any of these events, riders must have a valid motorcycle licence (both parts required) and appropriate clothing and safety gear. Local dealership staff will be on hand to give expert technical and service advice and trained riders will be there to guide all test rides.
The Ducati UK event truck along with a fleet of up to 14 demonstrator and 6 display bikes will make its first stop in Stafford at the Classic Motorcycle show on the 24th and 25th April before visiting a further 20 venues across the UK throughout the summer, finishing the season at BikeWise 2010
