Team Red is celebrating its circuit records with a limited numbered fleet of superbikes.
For those of you who don’t know, Ducati is the first brand to win both MotoGP® and WorldSBK® World Championships for two years in a row. These festivities practically beg the output of a special kind of bike to hold high in commemoration of a record-breaking year.
In this case, it’s five bikes – one for each of the brand’s five champions
