Ducati
Ducati is best known for high performance motorcycles characterized by large capacity four-stroke, L-twin (90° twin-cylinder) engines featuring a desmodromic valve design.
Modern Ducatis remain among the dominant performance motorcycles available today partly because of the desmodromic valve design, which is nearing its 50th year of use.
Ducati rejoined Grand Prix motorcycle racing in 2003, after a 30 year absence. On September 23, 2007, Casey Stoner clinched his and Ducati's first Grand Prix World Championship.
NF Importers Pty.Ltd is the Australian and New Zealand importer and distributor of Ducati products.
