Without the genius of the unheralded tuner, even the most talented rider would be a mid-field runner. And one of the most-genius ever was Udo Gietl.

Call it a quest. No, make that a mission. When I inherited former Senior Editor Charles Everitt's long-term 2005 Ducati Multistrada, it had just 6928 miles on the odometer after a year and a half of service.

Back when we were in high school, a wide gulf separated 600s from their brawnier, big-bore brothers. Middleweights were small and light and cut up curves like a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, but their modest power output made them a workout on the racetrack and a downright bore on the wide-open roa

There's a scene in The Who's Quadrophenia that I almost reenacted on my way to work this morning. No, not the climactic finale where our hero, Jimmy Cooper, launches his Lambretta off the Brighton cliffs-though that did cross my mind afterward. The other incident, where he lays down his motorscooter

He couldn't have foreseen it at the time, but his elemental creation inspired a whole new category of motorcycle: the naked bike. In the decade an

Mel Brooks had it right: It is good to be the king. Or, in this case, the CEO. See, every year Michael Lock, chief executive officer of Ducati North America, gets his pick from Ducati's lineup for his company vehicle, if you will. Yet while some of us might cr

In a dramatic turnaround, Grand Prix racing has transformed itself in the past two years -- and the powersliding, fairing-bashing, exhaust-howling racing that's resulted has been a damn good spectacle, too. The invention of the four-stroke MotoGP class as a re

During our recent trip to Barcelona, Spain, to attend the world release of Ducati's new ST3 sport-tourer, we also had the opportunity to ride the similarly freshened ST4s ABS. Built with the same frame and bodywork as the ST3, the $16,295 ST4s ABS (subtract $1
