  • Ducati: in Pursuit of Magic (A)
    DG-1507-E Rev. 2/2017 Ducati: In Pursuit of Magic (A) On the first business day of January 2006, Federico Minoli pulled up and parked his Ducati Multistrada motorcycle in front of the Ducati headquarters in Bologna, Italy. As he looked up at the complex, which housed offices, the assembly factory and the Ducati museum, he reflected back on the company’s history. 2006 would mark several anniversaries: 80 years since Ducati was established to produce electronic radio equipment; 60 years since Ducati had been producing motorcycles; and ten years since Minoli had become the company’s CEO. Minoli joined the then near bankrupt Ducati in 1996, and led its turnaround by creating the “World of Ducati,” a world that involved superior engineering, Italian heritage, slick design and an undeniable attraction for racing enthusiasts to “join the tribe” and become “Ducatisti.” See the video: Ducati’s advertising (length: 1’50”) Revenues moved from €195 million to €380 million from 1996 to 2000. EBITDA improved from a loss to €60 million in the same period. However, in the five subsequent years, business results stalled: revenues fell 2.3% on a compound annual growth rate from 2000 to 2005, and EBITDA fell to -€273,000 at the close of 2005. In late 2005, an agreement was signed by shareholder Texas Pacific Group to sell its 30% stake in Ducati to InvestIndustrial Holdings SA and a syndicate of other investors, with the understanding that Ducati would pursue a capital increase of €80 million. Minoli was certain that the new shareholders would demand certain changes to cut costs and get the company’s growth back on track.

I was part of the Bellevue Suzuki-Ducati dealer crew in the 90's that had the pleasure to unveil the first of the 1995 Ducati 916 Superbike to the public here in the Pacific NW and Cafe Veloce hosted the event. A night with no real visual media aides, no brochures and really 0 availability beyond the 5 we were promised from Ducati NA. So we brought our first two, one stripped down to reveal the naked beauty of the new SBK and the other was ready to bring to life right after the event and let the first lucky new owner ride away, the crowd cheered as he roared away Did you miss your chance to own one? It is getting harder and harder to find a clean example with minimal modifications and good mechanical bill of health. This one we feel is the real deal, we gave it a good inspection, the fluids were all fresh, we were asked to replace the timing belts as that was something the owner did not choose to take on himself. While we were replacing belts we pulled intake cam to inspect rocker arms, all had been plated. Checked compression, 165lbs even in both cylinders, this is a healthy motor. We did find some slight scratches on the left side of the fairing, they were covered with Agip stickers, no other damage found.

  • Evoluzione Motori Ducati Bicilindrici Con Quattro Valvole Per Gruppo Termico (08) Molti Propulsori Di Serie Ad Elevate Prestazio
    Evoluzione motori Ducati bicilindrici con quattro valvole per gruppo termico (08) Molti propulsori di serie ad elevate prestazioni prodotti dalla Ducati, sono stati progettati per poter poi essere utilizzati anche nelle competizioni. In altri casi il processo è stato inverso e cioè prima è nato il prototipo per le competizioni e poi da questo è scaturito il motore per le moto vendute regolarmente al pubblico. Così è successo ad esempio per il Desmosedici, che deriva direttamente dal mille usato fino a poco tempo fa nel campionato MotoGP. Dunque ciò che senza dubbio contraddistingue le moto costruite a Borgo Panigale da quelle della concorrenza, è l’intimo legame che possiedono con le corse. La conferma di questa affermazione la si può trovare analizzando la storia evolutiva dei bicilindrici ad “L” desmo, raffreddati a liquido e contraddistinti dalla presenza di quattro valvole in ciascun gruppo termico. Si noti che tale evoluzione non ha mai conosciuto discontinuità progettuali, ovvero è stata sempre caratterizzata da fondamenti tecnici comuni, modificati e migliorati nel tempo. La famiglia dei bicilindri desmo ad elevate prestazioni, ha origine nel 1978 dalla tesi di laurea dell’Ing. Bordi. Questo tecnico viene assunto in Ducati con il compito non semplice di dare seguito alla genialità dell’Ing. Taglioni, progettando un motore capace di erogare una considerevole potenza massima e in azienda trova in Gianluigi Mengoli un valido alleato. Quest’ultimo infatti ha una immensa esperienza progettuale e riesce a concretizzare le idee di Bordi. Nasce perciò in modo quasi romanzesco la prima versione del Desmoquattro, con cilindrata pari a 748 cm3, ottenuti con una corsa di 61.5 mm ed un alesaggio di 88 mm.

  • Ducati Museum
    Ducati Museum Past and future, challenges and successes, vision and determination: the Ducati Museum is a journey through the legendary 90-year history of the Company, renowned across the world for its style, performance and the search for perfection. Each product is a work of art. A story told using language composed of shapes and colours, emphasised by delicate, ethereal staging. An intense adventure, in which every bike exhibited becomes a true work of art to be experienced. The new Ducati Museum is characterised by its very modern concept, in which the colour white dominates so as to ensure that the product takes centre stage, with no distractions. Each bike exhibited is a work of art, a story told using a language composed of shapes and colours and emphasised by dedicated installations. In addition, the new Ducati Museum exudes the Ducati brand identity of Style, Sophistication and Performance. With its new look, the Ducati Museum is a journey through legendary Ducati history, to the heart of a company in which every product is conceived, designed and created to provide unique emotions. The new Ducati Museum has an entire area dedicated to some of the most iconic road bikes that have contributed to making the company’s history so great. And it is here that the story of the so-called “production bike” is recounted in its entirety, or rather, the conception and development of the project in very particular technological, economic and social contexts. This leads to the Museum’s new narrative, developed according to three paths: the history of Ducati production bikes and the social and cultural context in which they are conceived; the racing history with exhibits including race bikes and winners’ trophies, and finally the ‘Ducati heroes’, or rather the Ducati riders themselves.

  • Storia Ducati
    Storia dell'azienda L' azienda nacque nel 1926 per volontà dell'ing. Antonio Cavalieri Ducati ( 1855 - 27 giugno 1927 ) con il nome di Società Scientifica Radio Brevetti Ducati , specializzata nella ricerca e produzione di tecnologie di comunicazioni radio . Ben presto, grazie ai figli di Antonio Ducati (morto solo un anno dopo la fondazione), cominciò a spaziare in svariati campi industriali. La fabbrica Ducati Il reparto motociclistico nasce nel 1946 come branca dell'azienda, allora gestita dall' IRI , con la produzione del Cucciolo , un motore monocilindrico da applicare ad una normale bibicletta, progettato dalla SIATA di Torino e venduto in tutto il mondo in oltre 250.000 unità. Nel 1985 la società venne ceduta ad un'altra industria del ramo motociclistico, la Cagiva di Varese , che ne mantenne la proprietà fino al 1996, anno in cui il Texas Pacific Group ne acquistò il 51% delle azioni. Il rimanente 49% fu rilevato nel 1998; l'anno successivo l'azienda mutò denominazione in Ducati Motor Holding SpA e il fondo texano collocò sul mercato oltre il 65% delle azioni possedute. Nel 2006 il marchio Ducati è ritornato in mani italiane con l'acquisto da parte di Investindustrial Holdings , la finanziaria di Andrea Bonomi , di una quota consistente del capitale sociale . Storia della produzione [modifica ] Nel 1954 viene assunto l'ingegnere Fabio Taglioni ( 1920 -2001 ), che caratterizzerà le motociclette Ducati per tutta la seconda metà del secolo. Nel 1958 applica per la prima volta la distribuzione desmodromica ad un motore motociclistico: la Desmo 125 GP, che manca di poco la conquista dell'alloro mondiale.
