Ducati Motor Holding enjoyed yet another great year sales-wise in 2016, which saw 55,451 motorcycles delivered to their customers.

12th December 2016

For us, this bike as a lot to live up to; replacing the ER-6N is always going to be a tough job as it was such an easy, all round package and the ‘Z’ heritage is filled with 40 years of incredible machines – meaning a combination of the two for this bike could be…
