Moto GP
In 2003, Ducati has made its entry into Moto
GP World Championship, the highest point of motorcycle
racing, with the riders Loris Capirossi and Troy
Bayliss and the factory bikes "Desmo Sedici".
After 30 years, Ducati has started the challenge
into the highest level of racing. Ducati has
achieved high ranks from the opening race in
Suzuka, and in the fifth race at Mugello Italy,
Ducati recorded the max. speed of 332.4km/h which
has exceeded Formula 1's max. speed, proving
the quality of Ducati's technology. Subsequently,
Ducati's ongoing entries into high ranks have
made it the menace for the other makers entered
in GP. |

The Monster's
success is distinguished by continuous technological
and design evolution. For 2004, Ducati introduces
the radical Monster S4R and 400ie.
Since its inception, the Monster has defined a new way of motorcycling.
With their fully exposed and purposeful engines and body work, combined
with Ducati sports bike "know how" they deliver a unique blend
of style and performance.
The Monster family contains seven versions with one of four different fuel
injected engines, each with their own special features to satisfy the needs
of riders with varying levels. The entire family uses a Ducati Trellis
frame derived from the Ducati Sport Touring family, all electronic instrument
panels with integrated anti-theft immobiliser system and newly designed
rear view mirrors. Furthermore, all models are environmentally responsible,
exceeding the Euro2 clean air standards, and are approved for access to
city centres that are closed to vehicles without catalytic converters.
Apart from these shared features, many technical and style details of all
the Monsters have been updated and improved.

For 2004
the ST range has been completely updated both
in style and technically, and includes and all
new model.
A new front fairing increases rider protection at speed, without adding
weight to the bike or detracting from its sport performance. Complimenting
the improved ergonomics are powerful engines including a revised 996cc
power plant for ST4s ABS, plus and all new 992cc three valve Dual Spark
motor in the new ST3.
The new design features a taller front fairing than before and a new complex
surface double curved headlight. This solution puts the Ducati Sports Touring
bikes at the top of their class for their light intensity and pattern.
An electrically controlled remote height adjustment, actuated by a simple
control on the instrument panel, allows easy height adjustment for varying
loads. In addition, all new this year is a fully electronic instrument
panel with modern graphics, providing plenty of information about the state
of the engine and the journey that is underway. |

Ergonomics has also been significantly improved.
Height adjustable handlebars, which have a
range of 20 mm, allow the ST to adapt the rider's
preferred position, as well as front brake
and clutch levers that can be adjusted to four
different positions. Seat comfort has been
improved by new seat shape, advanced new padding
and cover material, creating a more comfortable
position for long journeys, as well as eliminating
the passenger's tendency to slide forwards
during braking.
The height adjustable exhaust system has been retained on the entire
ST line. With the saddlebags attached, the silencers are in their lower "tour" position,
but when out for a spirited sport ride the silencers can be raised to
the "sport" position.
All ST models come with anti-theft immobiliser system as standard equipment
and utilize advanced CAN line electronics. The CAN line solution brings
simplifies and lightens the electrical system and wire harness

and will be offered in full fairing versions
only.
The essential air-cooled 90° L-Twin 2 valve engines, with their potent
linear power delivery, high torque and simplicity of design. Although straightforward
design, advanced electronic fuel injection, computer controlled engine
management and the latest manufacturing processes ensure that remain highly
dependable and keep maintenance costs low. Both the 800 and 1000 DS are

A signature Ducati Trellis frame compliments
for confidence-inspiring road holding and stability.
Light, rigid and beautiful, Ducati designers
place welded triangulated thin wall ALS450
tubing only -- and exactly --where it's needed.
The Ducati trellis frame gains its advantage
through design, triangulation and material
integrity -- not through volume as is the case
with the more common extruded aluminium frames.
The entire Super Sport family is equip with premium Brembo Serie Oro
callipers gripping dual 320mm discs up front and a 245 mm single disc
in the rear. Steel braided brake lines are standard equipment to ensure
responsive and potent stopping power.
Both models share a lightweight fully electronic instrument panel, and
come standard with an advanced anti-theft immobiliser system.

different versions standard, "S" and "R".
The range presents several improvements, most
notably this year the 749S: with a new Testastretta
engine. and power increased from 103 to 110 Hp.
Fully adjustable riding position and controls
ensure balance and symbiosis between rider and
machine. The asymmetric exhaust system, which
utilizes the available space incredibly efficiently
while still allowing impressive power output
and low emissions to easily meet the Euro2 emission
standards. Another distinctive engineering solution
is the use of CAN line electronic control. This
emerging technology has allowed a significant
reduction in the complexity and weight of the
motorcycles wiring and electronic system, while
improving performance and electronic data capacity. |

A series of state-of-the-art technical solutions for the chassis
and running gear are found on the Superbike family. The chain adjustment
system using ?liders·on the swinging arm, allows chain adjustment
without altering ride height, so not to compromise the suspension
set up.
The whole Superbike 2004 range uses radial technology brake and
clutch master cylinders with integrated hydraulic reservoirs, delivering
progressive and linear power and feel. the Ducati Superbikes use
the ?riple bridge·brake calipers with four pistons and four
separate pads and lightweight 4.5 millimetre thick discs, mounted
further outward to improve cooling in all conditions.

The Multistrada,
Ducati's new-generation sport bike that delivers
extraordinary performance and design while offering
the possibility to ride wherever there is pavement,
has become one of the hottest topics in the motorcycle
industry in years. Designed to stand up to and
thrive on all road surfaces, the Multistrada
represents a new family of bikes in the Ducati
line.
During the development of the Multistrada, Ducati Design and R&D carefully
studied two types of motorcycles: sport bikes, with their pinpoint handling,
power and verve; and the big dual-purpose or enduro models, with their
comfort and versatility. By combining their strengths, the formula for
the Multistrada was born: a high performance, lightweight, comfortable
and versatile sport bike - equally at home on mountain roads, highways,
city streets and even at the occasional track day.
The outstanding performance of the Multistrada is not only the result of
advanced design. It is also thanks to the 1000cc engine and the highest
quality Superbike components. The Multistrada combines the signature Ducati
Trellis frame, advanced Superbike suspension, race-bred brakes, a new single-sided
swingarm and performance wheels and tyres.
