We got a press release into our inbox today. it was two pages long and it was to announce that the Ducati Supersport 950S has a new livery with a go-faster stripe.

Okay, perhaps “old engine” isn’t quite the right way of putting it - but the news is that Ducati have unveiled a new version of the Diavel and it now sports the V4 engine of other Ducatis in the range.

Ducati goes utterly mental, releasing a 240bhp version of the Panigale - the V4R

We’ve always liked the Monster - and while there’s not a huge amount of difference between this and the standard model (other than the price tag, of course), we’ve already fired off an email in anticipation of being able to ride one.

Like it or loathe it - the future of motoring is electric. We’ve all watched a MotoE race with a look of perplexion on our faces, as we try to decide whether or not we like it. It’s not the speed and it’s certainly not the looks - however, we (like many others) are still not convinced that MotoE works as a spectator sport as much as the bang-bang-shouty equivalent.
