The online round of the Ducati Superbike Concorso, in which Superbike owners from around the country competed for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy and ultimate bragging rights, reached its conclusion at the beginning of this week.
33 bikes competed in the online showdown and ranged from a 1973 750 GT to multiple entries of today's Superbike class defining 1098. The field was highly competitive and ran the gamut—even including two examples of the legendary Supermono.

It’s what you don’t see that makes all the difference. Cobra’s innovative Speedsters, offered in 3 versions, Slash Downs, Shorts and Longs, do more than break new styling ground. With their triple-chromed, 2-1/2”, full-length heat shields and clean stylish lines they’re some of the best-looking exhaust systems available. Tucked away behind those shields is the new Cobra™ PowerPort, an engineering advancement that provides a performance increase similar to what you get from a 2-into-1 system. The PowerPort was developed to increase power, and to maintain overall rideability while remaining discreetly out of sight. And it does that while retaining all the great sound and style you expect from Cobra™ .- PowerPort increases power and overall rideability
- The large 2-1/2” full-length heat shields fit tip-to-tip for seamless look and no bluing
- Beautifully machined billet end caps for truly custom finish
- Easy installation
- Fit and finish is the best in the business
- Available in slash down, short and long versions
- Made in the USA quality
PowerPort
Cobra™ designed the PowerPort to provide a significant performance increase similar to what you would expect to gain with a 2-into-1 system. Cobra™ spent a lot of time in the dyno room with the PowerPort to achieve that power gain and also to improve the overall rideability of the motorcycle. Best of all, the PowerPort works while tucked away-almost unseen-behind the Speedster’s full-length heatshields. Cobra™ also located the PowerPort in the muffler section which allows for an easier installation because the customer can install the head pipes individually.Cobra™ recommends installing an Fi2000 Digital Fuel Processor with any exhaust change on fuel-injected models.

|  Just in time for the summer riding season, Ducati North America and GE Money are launching a special financing program for some of Ducatis best selling motorcycles.
For those who are dreaming of a new Ducati, this program offers low interest rates and extended terms to make some of the most desirable Ducatis more accessible. This promotion will run from May 1 through July 31, 2008 at participating Ducati dealers.
The three models eligible for the program are:
2008 Hypermotard 1100
2008 Hypermotard 1100 S
2008 1098 Superbike
Ducati customers can take advantage of rates as low as 1.99% for 36 months or low payments. Some payment examples include:
The Hypermotard for as low as $199 a month for 72 months
The 1098 Superbike for as low as $269 a month for 72 months
Customers can also take advantage of this offer by rolling Accessories, Apparel and the Ducati Everred Protection Program into the special financing. This allows customers to ride their new bikes with personalized style from the Ducati Performance range.
Rather than limiting the program only to those with flawless credit, Ducati is offering the financing to those in several tiers of eligibility. This opens up the program to Ducatisti who in the past could not easily finance a Ducati.
