The sun’s already up and there is not even a cloud in sight. As time passes, the temperature is rising and it is getting hotter and hotter. I can feel the sweat forming on my forehead and my back while I am all kitted up. But that is the least of my concerns, because there’s an engine buzzing between my legs which is also doing exactly the same thing. In a scenario like this, the only correct way to beat the heat is to go faster and faster. And that, my friend, is the Summer of Speed.
We at Motoring love machines that are fast and loud, but more importantly, the ones that are soulful in delivering the very emotion of speed. While Japanese bikes are superbly efficient and clinical in the way they run, the Italians are also gifted with an eye for design and emotion. It is where form takes over function. With those lines, I couldn’t think of anything else but Ducatis. Besides being a formidable championship winner in MotoGP, Ducati is an old motorcycle brand that has come a long way in building motorcycles. It is a name that has been responsible for offering us some of the most iconic motorcycles ever created that have been the ultimate pinup girls of nearly every motorcyclist’s boyhood. Hailing from the northern part of Italy from the city of Bologna with two machines, one draped in red and the other in black, it was time to play a game of checkers with them.
