Ducati Museum - Virtual Tour View with Google Maps
For Ducati owners who have been pining to visit the world famous Ducati museum in Bologna, but cannot cover the cost or justify the trip, you are in luck.
The doors at Via Antonio Cavalieri Ducati have opened with Google Maps to allow you to take the tour without getting up from your computer.
The 9,150 sq ft museum in Borgo Panigale already hosts 40,000 visitors a year and with the virtual tour, Ducati hopes to attract hundreds of thousands more.
The museum currently houses over 40 motorcycles that have been “fundamentally important to the racing heritage of Ducati” and range from the 1946 Cucciolo, to the most recent Desmosedici GP and World Superbikes.
Included in the main museum tour are seven separate, individually themed rooms that showcase historic milestones with accompanying videos and mementos.
Ducati expects that 2014 will be an especially busy year for the museum as the bi-annual World Ducati Week rally rolls into Bologna this summer at the Misano World Circuit from July 18th to 20th.
The company is hoping the rally will draw additional visitors to the museum over the course of the weekend and give some the chance to visit the museum in person. To take the virtual tour simply follow this link. Additional information about World Ducati Week 2014 can be found here.

2014 CBR1000RR SP - Ride Review
The 2014 CBR1000RR Fireblade is once again an upgrade of the existing model: Honda’s flagship race-rep was first introduced back in 2008, and though it has received a couple of small updates here and there, it hasn’t been properly updated in a lengthy six years now.
It’s not all bad though, as Honda now presents the most complete and best Fireblade ever: the 2014 CBR1000RR SP. Both the SP and standard model receive a slightly altered riding position, three extra horsepower and two full pounds of weight loss.
The SP model is further enhanced – quite predictably – by mounting higher spec components such as brakes and suspension. The front receives high-class Öhlins NIX30 forks and Brembo monobloc brake calipers, while the well known TTX36 shock upgrades the rear suspension.
Honda mentiones that the engines are ‘blueprinted’ – the different components are specifically selected to work better together – but this is not shown in the output numbers.
We are being guided around the Losail circuit in Qatar by household names Ron and Leon Haslam, along with a street0racer from England by the name of John McGuinness, and in the first couple of sessions the Fireblades kick up dust and sand on the 1km long straight.
It is here that the only real weak spot of the CBR shows: the gearbox is unwilling to shift up smoothly, and every now and then it takes 2 attempts to flick it into the next cog. Coming down the gears is perfect however, with a good slipper clutch keeping the rear stable under hard braking.
Acceleration is exhilarating but never raw or unexpected. The 178 hp motor shines not only on the straight (where we saw an indicated 280 km/h), and it is also very manageable in the technical twisty sections. But to be honest, we couldn’t detect much of the engine improvements Honda made for 2014.
The new ergonomics do make a difference though: the body is positioned more forward, while the feet are moved backwards. This makes the bike feel like it has less ground clearance, and we found we were scraping our toesliders more quickly.
The Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP (and semi slick SC) tires provide more grip than the ones on our 2013 test model, so maybe this is part of the reason as well. The new Fireblade feels great though, and you get that trusty welcome feeling just as on any other Honda.
The wider bars provide lots of control going hard into the corners while helping with tucking away on the straights as well. It’s not easy to find enough room behind the newly designed small and low windscreen though. Honda claims a better gripping seat, but we experienced exactly the opposite.
The Fireblade has always been a tight and precise steering bike and the Öhlins suspenders add fantastic feedback to the package. Confidence is boosted because you feel exactly what the front tire is doing now.
The new throttle for 2014 is beautifully setup, and the throttle response makes for a sublime connection between the grip and the rear tire. The rear seems to follow exactly what you input.
The front feels slightly nervous when chucking the bike from one side to the other and accelerating hard out of corners, but an electronic HESD steering damper keeps the peace in the chassis. Entering a corner is dead easy and light, even while trail-braking.
The accurate throttle response and perfect fueling makes for a effortless transitions mid-corner, and keeps the CBR1000RR SP stable when powering out. The Honda likes to understeer wide though, but this is not abnormal for these overpowered race-reps.
The acceleration is enormous but accessible throughout the rev-range, even without any form of traction control.
215,000 Fireblades have been sold since the original stormed the marketplace in 1992 and the newest model shows once again exactly why it is so popular: despite a monster 998cc 4-cylinder powerhouse, this superbike still stays predictable, useable and – according to some – maybe a bit bland.
The brilliant Brembos bite extremely hard and make for quite a sensation every time you near the end of the straights. The combined and electronically controlled ABS system doesn’t disturb the feel, nor the ability to modulate the braking power very precisely.
Add the Öhlins suspension – and the SC semi slicks – and you receive crystal clear feedback from the chassis, which makes it easier to find the limit (and maybe push it further).
The sexy aftermarket components definitely enhance the 2014 Honda CBR1000RR SP’s attraction, but the absence of TC and the notchy gearbox make it lose out to the fierce competition in these departments.
This is however the best Fireblade ever: this bike provides good value for money, even with a slightly elevated retail price of €17.999 for the base model CBR1000RR, and €3,500 on top for the CBR1000RR SP with exotic goodies. Pricing is still to be determined in the US, of course.

streetfighter form of the revered Bmw S1000rr superbike,
the S1000r drops a “R” from its name on top of around 30hp, with the
exposed cycle wearing a 160hp crest figure — basically because of a

2014 Ducati 1199 Superleggera Motorcycle - Video
Ducati has discharged finer portions and a few flawless symbolism of the 1199 Superleggera. The super-Gucci Panigale is situated to boast the most noteworthy power-to-weight proportion of any preparation bike, because of a blend of magnesium, carbon and titanium duplicity.
2014 Ducati 899 Panigale Motorcycle – Video
For some of its recent history, Ducati has offered slightly-smaller-displacement versions of its flagship superbike. And given how successful the product strategy has been around the past, it will come as no real surprise that the 1199 Panigale will spawn a fresh understudy. Actually, it too will undoubtedly be called the Panigale.
2014 New Honda Valkyrie Motorcycle – Video
The first Valkyrie used a simple formula well-known to American hot-rod builders: take the frame and motor of a big, heavy car and chop away everything you don’t need. That first iteration was built right here in the USA from 1996-2003 and still has legions of fans. It used the flat-six, liquid-cooled 1520cc motor and five-speed gearbox from the old GL1500 Gold Wing (1988-2000), but with a different tube-steel chassis. It weighed in at 682 pounds dry—much lighter than its touring brother.

When most people hear the phrase “single-cylinder motorcycle,” they imagine a limp-wristed conveyance for put-putting around town. However, some pretty peppy singles have been made over the years. And while they might leave you wanting when it comes to acceleration and max speed, their light weight tends to give them exceptional agility...
