Have a go on a Ducati 1299 Panigale or Multistrada 1200

Or an 899 Panigale or Diavel or Monster - Ducati demo tour starts this weekend

DUCATI is offering test rides on its 2015 range with a demo tour starting in Ireland this Saturday before visiting locations across the UK.

The fleet includes the 205hp 1299 Panigale and Multistrada 1200.

The Multistrada’s press launch is on Sunday, so riders who attend Saturday’s Ducati Roadshow debut in Dublin could get to ride it ahead of journalists.

A release from Ducati said: ‘Although the 1299 Panigale and the Multistrada will grab most of the attention there will be an extensive variety of models to choose from. The Diavel is a must to test ride appealing to all types of riders - once ridden many riders fall for the Diavel’s versatility and performance. The Hyperstrada like the Multistrada will benefit from the extended test ride allowing riders to gauge the renowned touring and sporting abilities of these bikes.

‘In addition to these bikes there will be the 899 Panigale which is a firm favourite amongst sports bike riders whilst the legendary Monster range has evolved with the new Monster 821 and 1200 for those who prefer more naked thrills.’

Riders must have a full licence and ‘appropriate clothing and safety gear’.
