The Ducati Roadshow makes its debut this weekend at the first of 19 locations in the UK.
On Saturday (7th), the show rolls into Rosso Dublin and Millsport Motorcycles in Ballymoney on Sunday (18th) before continuing onto further locations across the length and breadth of the UK this summer.
The Ducati event truck and demonstrator fleet has proved a popular attraction over the last few years, with the Roadshow assisting dealers in providing its dealer network with an extensive test fleet and experienced road test guides.
Demonstration rides now give customers an extensive period of time to evaluate the bikes with accompanied test rides lasting up to one and half hours taking in a variety of roads and conditions to fully assess the bikes capabilities. Pillion riders may also join in the test rides for the chance to appraise the ergonomics of these machines.
The demonstrator fleet showcases the 2015 range, including the new 1299 Panigale and the soon to be launched Multistrada 1200. The Diavel is a must to test ride appealing to all types of riders, while the Hyperstrada, like the Multistrada, will benefit from the extended test ride allowing riders to gauge the renowned touring and sporting abilities of these bikes.
In addition to these bikes, there will be the 899 Panigale which is a firm favourite amongst sports bike riders, whilst the legendary Monster range has evolved with the new Monster 821 and 1200.
To take a test ride at any of these events, riders must have a valid motorcycle licence (both parts required) and appropriate clothing and safety gear. Local dealership staff will be on hand to give expert technical, sales and service advice and trained riders will be there to guide all test rides.
