Ducatisti delight!

Ducati debut at the MCN London Motorcycle Show

I like many was disappointed that none of the major Italian motorcycle manufacturers were at this years International Motorcycle and Scooter Show at the NEC; many preferring to show their latest models at the EIMA show a few weeks later in Milan.

So it comes as no surprise that it has been announced that Ducati will be at this year's MCN London Motorcycle Show at ExCel to show off their new models. So for the Ducatisti out there, Ducati will have their stunning new Ducati 1098 on show, (the most powerful twin cylinder motorcycle in the world apparently), the extreme Ducati Hyermotard, and for those wannabe racers, the limited edition Desmosedici RR.

I know I'll be at the show if only to get a look and sit on these bikes. However I wonder with Ducati not being at the NEC this year and choosing to show its new models in the UK at the MCN show, whether in the coming years it could be the MCN show that manufacturers choose as the premier UK motorcycle show to release their new models to the British motorcycling public, only time will tell!!

Ride safe!

A green motorcycle - 100 MPG!

Bite the Bullet for Green Transport

Royal Enfield have put out a press release reminding all just how economical the Royal Enfield Bullet Electra is. Apparently Freelance journalist Jim Reynolds achieved a remarkable 106.7mpg over 189 miles on UK country roads!

The Bullet Electra has an all-alloy 499cc engine was designed and developed in conjunction with the internationally respected Austrian power-train systems company, AVL.

So is this the future of motorcycling? I feel that with ever increasing fuel costs, that bikers will have to consider whether they can run a sports bike that can guzzle petrol faster than a car, as opposed to a bike that will take you over 100 miles on a gallon. Motorcycles were popular after the Second World War because they offered good value economic transport for the masses. In the past sixty years many motorcycles have moved into the categorey of "plaything"! It will good for motorcycling if increasing petrol costs see the return of many more to motorcycling as economic transport.

So its hats off to Royal Enfield for producing a motorcycle that will be so fuel frugal.

Ride Safe
