    by

    Race 1 at Misano was a sight to behold, amazing (and gutting) on many levels, but surely a wonderful spectacle nonetheless. So how could Race 2 compare?

    by

    Ducati’s Supersport S has very few direct rivals, bar perhaps Honda’s ageing VFR800, seeing as this class of motorcycle is now all but defunct. Ducati believed that missing gap needed filling though, so came up with the perfectly formed Supersport and Supersport S… And, we’d say they are bang on correct because there used to…
