Ducati was founded in 1926 by three brothers, Adriano, Marcello and Bruno Ducati. The company's full name was 'Societa Scientifica Radio Brevetti Ducati' and originally they manufactured vacuum tubes, condensors and electrical components for radios.
After the Second World War, Ducati joined forces with a small Turin based firm (SIATA) that had been marketing small engines designed to fit onto a standard bicycle, the idea was to design a new machine from the ground up using the original SITA engine.
During the 50's and 60's Ducati continued to go from strength to strength, producing many innovative and original designs such as the Desmodromic Valve design used on their large capacity L-Twin powerplants. Their engine designs are also characterised by their use of dry clutches, rather than the much more common wet multiplate design and the steel trellis frames used extensively on Ducati models help to give a unique, distinctive appearance.
Ducati currently offer a range of street and race replica models, with the emphasis on their racing heritage.
