8/13/11 - New Bikes!!! (Multi 1200 ABS)
We hope everyone has been having a great summer! We just returned from Laguna Seca Moto GP slightly sunburned but had a great time. The highlight being the Ducati sponsored track walk led by Jason DiSalvo! Check out our Facebook page for photos.
We highlighted last month our new rental location at Pro Italia in Los Angeles. In addition to the new Diavel we also have a brand new 2011 Multistrada 1200 ABS (with bags) available to rent! If you haven't ridden this amazing bike, you are in for a big surprise because it is as comfortable as any touring bike, but corners like a sport bike. With 150 bhp on tap, and 4 engine-mapped riding modes (Urban, Enduro, Touring, and Sport), adjustable traction control, and full ABS, this bike really does cover new technological grounds. If you didn't catch the Ducati Experience Tour you now have both a Diavel and a Multistrada 1200 ABS available in Los Angeles to spend a whole day or a whole weekend riding. Or, grab one for a week if you really want to get away. Enjoy!

7/9/11 - New Los Angeles Location!!!
Pro Italia Motorcycles, in Glendale, CA, is RentaDucati.com's newest rental location. As many of you know, we have wanted to have a Los Angeles area location for a long time and we are very happy to finally have that with an organization that has a great reputation like Pro Italia.
Our website is updated and we are now taking reservations for the Diavel with the first rental date scheduled for next Friday, July 15th! So, if you took a test ride, but still aren't convinced, this is your chance to spend a whole day, or better yet a weekend on it so you can see just how good this bike really is! Oh, and it's still available for Moto GP weekend... Better grab it fast, cause it's gonna go fast now that we've announced it!

5/18/11 - Diavel !!! And other bikes.
RentaDucati.com is very pleased to announce that we have added the brand new Ducati Diavel to the stable! Here it is up at the Palomar Mountain General Store. Riding the Diavel is an initiation to the unexpected. The power is great and comes on smoothly, but strongly given the 162 bhp figure. What is entirely unexpected is how agile this bike really is and how composed even at significant lean angles. It goes, handles, is beautiful, and is a Ducati after all! And for all you lucky people reading this, it is available to rent!
Other bike news: we added another 848 Superbike to the line-up with carbon fiber Termi's, Ohlins TTX shock, Ohlins steering damper, smoked screen, and solo seat. Now, riders in Santa Barbara as well as San Diego have the opportunity to ride the amazing Ducati 848 Superbike (currently winning AMA & WSBK races regularly)! We also have an extended range tank on the Hypermotard, so perfect for the long road trip.

8/1/10 - MotoGP 2010
Ducati Island, sun, fast bikes, and unfortuantely only a second place poduim finish for Mr. Stoner. Well, it was still a great race and of course a great Ducati showing by all the fans. One of our founders, David, was there to take it all in and enjoy the weekend. Here is to hoping we have a guy on the top next year (perhaps Rossi?).

Puma recently came out with new bike shoes, and you know what that means... new advertising pictures! We were lucky enough to have one of our bikes featured in the shoot - see a few of their pictures here. Of course we don't recommend this type of riding, but it makes for great press shots! |

12/11/08 - RiDE UK Magazine Review
RiDE UK Magazine published a special "fly-and-ride" story about their recent three day trip to San Diego riding our Monster 696 in their December'08 issue. They took some great shots of the deserts, mountains, and sea side - see a few of their pictures here. The story is great, but it may be a tough for most of us to check out since they are based in the United Kingdom! Maybe you can check them out at your nearest enthusiasts magazine store. |
