Ducati experience 2010
Source: Insidebikes | Carole Nash » Bike News - Friday, 12th March 2010, 12:47 GMTIf you have a real passion for all things Italian, then you might want to try The Ducati Riding Experience. For 2010 an agreement with the Federazione Motociclistica Italiana (FMI), means it will offer a more structured programme of riding courses aboard Ducati motorcycles, at top Italian circuits. The DRE offers an all-round experience with great courses, exciting tracks, a line-up of 30 top instructors, a fleet of 90 dedicated Ducati motorcycles and a support staff of more than 30 to ensure participants a valuable and enjoyable day to remember. The accent is on training right from the start. From taking a first step into motorcycling aboard a light, agile and user-friendly Monster 696 in the Basic course, to improving existing road skills aboard a Hypermotard 796, 1100 and Monster 1100 in the Intermediate course, Ducati will improve and perfect all riding techniques. Those riders who prefer to improve their talents on the track will have the opportunity to spend a day receiving detailed instruction aboard a Superbike 848, the mid-range Superbike. Track riders can progress from Racing 1 through to Racing 2 and, for advanced track riders, to the Master Racing course aboard the famous 1198 S with Ducati Traction Control. Do you want to know how fast you really are? As part of the Master racing course, participants will be able to compare their ‘performance data’ with that of their instructor’s. The system records throttle opening, engine rpm, vehicle speed, lap time, suspension travel, brake pressure, tyre temperatures and corner trajectories to give a full report. At the end of the test, the retrieved data forms a debrief session between each participant and their instructor and each participant is presented with a printed copy of their data. A list of prices and full calendar of 2010 events to be held at major Italian circuits are now online at Ducati.com. Email; dre2010@ducati.com Read article
