DUCATI ANZ LAUNCHES DUCATI XPEDITIONS
When it comes to adventure motorcycle brands , it ’ s easy to see which are committed to the genre by the events they run ( if they run any at all ). While Ducati has previously run events closer to the brand ’ s home in Bologna , Ducati ANZ is bringing off-road action closer to home with the launch of Ducati Xpeditions . The idea behind the series of multi-day tours is to bring Ducatisti together on their own Multistrada , DesertX or Scrambler Ducati Desert Sled . The first Ducati Xpedition is timed to be a pilgrimage towards Victoria to coincide with the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island . Through four days of amazing riding , riders will explore their way through the many twists and turns of lush rainforest on the NSW South Coast , over the Alpine High Country and into the never-ending hills east of Melbourne . Starting in Bowral on Monday October 10 , 2022 this is a limited opportunity for Ducatisti to get out and explore Australia on their Multistrada ,
DesertX or Scrambler Desert Sled . For those seeking dirt and exploring off the main roads and also for those who want to stick to the black stuff and carve up some twisties , the choice is theirs . Each day Ducatisti will have the choice of adventure and bitumen routes available to them . Behind the Xpedition is Nick Selleck and the team at Maschine . They ’ ve ensured that all the planning has been done , Ducatisti will check in and grab their Ducati T-Shirt , Maschine will look after the rest from there . The ride route for the day will be planned out , as will food and fuel stops . At the end of each day , Ducatisti will be able to check into their room and then unwind with their riding friends , over a great meal . Sadly , for now , Ducati ANZ has confirmed that loan bikes for Kiwi Ducatisti are not on the cards and therefore to get in on the action you ’ d be spending more than the base AU $ 2700 to buy a bike for the event . However , Ducati ANZ has stated it hopes to add the option of hire bikes to the Xpedition series in the future .
