Cupertino, California (March 30, 2007) - Ducati North America announces
today the Ducati Superbike Concorso; a competition celebrating over 30 years
of Ducati Superbikes.
From Cook Neilson's 1977 Daytona win to the recent introduction of the
dramatic 1098, Ducati Superbikes have dominated racing circuits and become
style icons worldwide. The Ducati Superbike Concorso highlights the history
and spirit of these motorcycles and celebrates the passion of their owners.
The Concorso is open to all 1972-2007 Ducati Superbikes and will recognize
performance and history as well as beauty and craftsmanship. The contest
consists of four regional rounds, which will coincide with AMA Superbike
Championship races. The fifth round will be featured online at
www.ducatiusa.com <http://www.ducatiusa.com/> . This will culminate in six
finalists and four Ducati-selected wild-cards to be chosen to compete on
Ducati Island during the final AMA Superbike Championship round at Laguna
Seca in September, 2007.
The Grand Prize winner will take home a new Ducati 1098 Superbike. The top
winners in "Modified/Performance Superbike" and "Original/Restored
Superbike" categories will each win once-in-a-lifetime trips to Italy, where
they will visit the Ducati factory and the Milan Motorcycle show as VIP
guests.
"The Superbike Concorso is a celebration of motorcycles that have put Ducati
on the map since the 1970's," said Michael Lock, CEO of Ducati North
America. "Many Ducati enthusiasts don't realize just how many significant
Superbikes we have built over the years, and how timeless and beautiful the
designs are."
The Superbike Concorso begins at the Fontana, California round of the AMA
Superbike Championship on April 27-29, 2007. The event will also make stops
at Laguna Seca (July 20-22, 2007), Mid Ohio (August 3-5, 2007) and Road
Atlanta (September 1-2, 2007).
