Hi guys. Ducati’s new Mega-Monster musclebike and rival to the Yamaha V-Max has been spotted testing on the roads around the Bologna factory. Hat’s off to Motoblog.it for scooping the exclusive!

The pictures were taken as the two bikes were testing on the road and show a big muscle bike with twin rows of LED rear lights and twin side-mounted exhausts, a la Streefighter.

Little is known about the bike in terms of mechanical details but its clear this will be a high-powered V-twin using a Ducati trellis frame with a single sided swingarm to take on the Yamaha V-Max.

The bike is expected to debut later this year.

Hey guys, Jon here with another funny motorcycle related video.

So, how do you sell a product like car and motorcycle insurance in Russia? With breasts, of course. Hey, if it worked for Carl’s Jr., it’ll work here. Warning: This video is definitely NSFW.

Sex sells, right?

Stay tuned for more updates.

What’s up guys? Ducati is launching a new DVD detailing the history of the famous Italian brand throughout its 81 year history and featuring rare footage, interviews and pictures. A perfect gift for that nut on two wheels you know. Check out the trailer.

From victory in the Imola 200 to the production of the Scrambler and from Superbike dominance to debut in MotoGP, witnesses recount their personal experiences of a journey that is the story of a company, a view of Italian social history and the passion and genius that created the Ducati engines destined to write the history of motorcycling.

Put that with a bunch of rare footage and interviews with racers, champions, and managers, and you’ve got yourself a best seller.

Hi guys, Paul here. Kawasaki has announced that the new Ninja 400R (or ER-4f for those of you across the pond) will be sold in Canada at $7499 CAD, but have not confirmed whether it will be coming to the United States.

The bike is ­a toned down version of the twin-cylinder ER-6f, and ­is seen by many as an important way to ease beginners up the motorcycling stepladder towards bigger machines in the same way that 400cc sports bikes did in the early 90s.

Seeing as how the Ninja 500 was discontinued, this could be the bike between 125s and 600s. ­Currently only the Kawasaki Ninja 250R, assorted dirt bikes and a few scooters are available to beginners looking to step up.

The trick is to price these things right, or it would be hard to justify buying a 400cc bike if the 650 version only costs a few hundred more, and is only marginally cheaper to insure.

So how would you price the 400 if you were Kawasaki? Then again, that is probably why the 400cc bike won’t be available in the U.S. And if it were, would anyone you know actually buy it?

What’s up, people? Aprilia’s new RSV4 Tuono naked bike has been spotted at the track, in almost finished trim, at Mugello in Italy. It will be four months before we will officially be able to see it at the Milan motorcycle show. Heads up to Motociclismo.it for the following video.

The new RSV4 Tuono replaces the ever-popular but soon out of production V-twin Tuono and is based on the V4 1000cc RSV4 superbike.

The bike was spotted doing track testing at Mugello where it’s believed the test riders have been working on the final details of the front end handling.

I wonder if they race horses at Mugello? You know, the kind where you can indulge in some online horse racing betting? Probably not, huh? It’s to complicated switching between the dirt and concrete.

Stay tuned for more updates folks.
