Ducati unveils 10 exclusive bikes to celebrate 100-year history
To celebrate Ducati’s centenary and 100 years of racing accomplishments, the Italian manufacturer is releasing the Collezione 100: an exclusive collection of 10 unique models with race-inspired liveries, capped at 100 production units each.
Each model is made unique by a special specification, and a livery inspired by an iconic motorcycle from Ducati’s history. With the leading late-20th-century Italian artist, Ugo Nespolo, signed on for the project, Ducati says the results of the collection are unique, unmistakable, and full of character.
The ten motorcycles in the Collezione 100 include the following:
