Ducati To Launch Superbikes In India

According to latest reports, Ducati will soon launch their range of motorcycles in India. How soon? Well the date being flaunted is May 7 2008. That’s next week!! Ducati will be only the second company after Yamaha to launch their range of ‘big bikes’.

Can you believe it? You will soon be able to buy yourself a brand new 1098 or a GT1000. Too bad about the 800cc limit, otherwise the Monster 695 would have been a great seller. But I think the best bike for India is the Hypermotard. No, not for the silly antics you can do on it, but for the long travel suspension, road biased tires and a tourer based chassis. Just the things you need to counter the off road experience of the city and highway traffic.

The company has an authorized showroom in the country in Mumbai. Here are the contact details from the Ducati website.
