Toronto Batch 3 — Conversion · curation

You will never use all 209 horsepower. Buy it anyway.

Be honest. On any road you can legally ride, you'll use maybe 60% of what this engine makes, the rest lives at the track. So why pay for power you'll rarely touch? Same reason you don't buy a watch just to tell the time.

Roll on in second and the Desmosedici Stradale pulls like the road tilted downhill. The counter-rotating crank makes 187 kg steer like a bike 20 kg lighter, that part you feel on every corner. It's a MotoGP engine with plates. You're not buying the top speed. You're buying the first inch of throttle.

This was never the sensible choice. You knew that walking in.

The Panigale for people who actually ride them.

The V4 is a track weapon you survive. This is the Panigale you use, every corner, every weekend, no chiropractor on Monday. 120 hp in 176 kg, and reviewers keep saying the same thing: it wants you to play with it, not prove yourself to it. 93 Nm of torque, a third more than most of its class, so it drives off any corner without hunting for a downshift. Brembo M50 brakes with less bike to stop.

A Sunday on the Forks of the Credit, this is the one you'll be glad you chose. You'd rather use 100% of this than own 60% of something you can't. That isn't settling. That's knowing yourself.

Come ride it at Ducati Toronto. Full details on the model page, link in the pinned comment.

A naked bike doesn't need more peak power. It needs power you'll actually use.

Plenty of nakeds make numbers you'll meet twice a year. The Monster V2 makes 111 hp you'll actually use, in 175 kg, the lightest 4-valve Monster ever built. The IVT engine retunes itself as you ride: docile and predictable in DVP traffic, sharp when Hockley Valley starts to bend, no flat spots in between.

And it's honest to own, not just honest on paper: valve checks every 45,000 km means more riding and fewer shop visits.

You'd rather use all of this every day than save the big number for twice a year. That's knowing how you actually ride.

You can only plan the big trip if your passenger trusts the back seat.

Ask whoever rides with you what they remember about your last trip. If the answer involves their knees, that's the bike talking. The Multistrada V4 S was built for two opinions: a real second seat, Skyhook electronic suspension that reads the road so nobody gets kicked, and a V4 Granturismo that pulls two people and their luggage without straining. Valve checks come every 60,000 km. Built for distance, not the service counter.

Muskoka on a Friday night, Georgian Bay by Sunday lunch, home without the chiropractor.

Bring your passenger to Ducati Toronto and try it two-up. Full details on the model page, link in the pinned comment.

If your adventure bike only shines on pavement, it is not truly an adventure bike.

Toronto runs out of pavement two hours north. That's the point.

Saturday, 6:40 AM, north before the city wakes up. By the Kawarthas the coffee's done and the asphalt starts to loosen. Ganaraska's forest roads, Simcoe County's sand tracks, Haliburton's gravel grids, all of it a morning's ride from downtown.

The new DesertX was built for exactly that day: an 890cc V2 with 70% of its torque by 3,000 rpm, six riding modes with two purely for off-road, and a bike designed for the tip-overs that come with real off-road riding. No truck, no trailer, no excuses.

Every motocross bike uses springs. The Ducati doesn't.

Every other bike on the gate uses springs to close its valves. The Desmo450 MX closes them mechanically, the same desmodromic system Ducati races. Springs have a ceiling: rev hard enough and they can float, right when you need the engine most. Desmo pulls each valve shut mechanically, so it keeps breathing clean exactly where a 450 lives, at the top of the range.

Out of a rutted corner at Gopher Dunes, it keeps pulling past where you'd expect a 450 to sign off. New doesn't mean unproven: Ducati took this from race debut to a production bike in under two years.

In stock at Ducati Toronto. Come see what no springs looks like. Model page link in the pinned comment.
