Like it’s not quick enough
After the fun i had with the Shift Assist on my K1300R i decided that my Duc should have one…did some googling but could not find a kit for my Sport Classic, so i called Ricky at TriStar workshop for advice and he recommended i get the Dynojet universal quick shifter push type kit and they will do the rest…so i did, and the kit is here they will be picking up the bike today to mount the kit and tune it.
Can’t wait to try it.
Make that a double please
Dominating race one and two, Haga made the perfect weekend for Ducati, Fabrizio was the tail man and made a couple of nice passes on Haga, but the Japanese came back just to clinch his sixth win of the season..apart from the last 2 rounds race 2 was a bit boring without Ben Spies of Yamaha pressure on team Ducati, the Texan had to retire after gear problems.
Intense action from Monza
Poor Spies ran out fuel 🙁 i guess the Ducati is more fuel efficient 🙂

Noriyuki Haga (Ducati Xerox) crashed in race 2 after being hit by a bird, BMW Ruben Xaus finished in ninth place.
Ducati Color Therapy
Ducati is the world’s first motorcycle manufacturer to offer 13 different colours for just one model, the new Monster 696 is now available in 13 different colors.
Italians do it better
To expand it’s range, Ducati has hinted at more than one occasion that it could go into a new line that it has not competed in yet, the new line is to compete against the likes of Harley-Davidson..!!
Bar-Design made some renders of the rumored cruiser… its said that the 1400cc 170hp prototype is running, and is being tested at the Bologna factory.
A superb win for Stoner
Although i’am a huge fan of Rossi but i just can’t hide my enjoyment of Stoner’s performance on the Ducati at opening race of the 2009 MotoGP in Qatar yesterday , at one point Sorner managed to increase the gap between him and Rossi to around 5sec with a top speed of 330Km…looks like its going to be a tough battle this season with the 2 Yamaha riders finishing second and third.
Next race is will take place at the Motegi circuit in Japan on the 26th of April, the Netherlands will be hosting the forth round of the World Super Bike at the same day as well.
