If you had told me three years ago that Ducati would soon be on a mission to take the off-road scene by storm, I'd have said you don't understand the motorcycle industry. Well, luckily, no one said that to me because I'd have a load of egg dripping down my face right now.
Nine-time motocross champion, Tony Cairoli, who recently came out of racing retirement to become one of Ducati's current factory riders, gave the low-down to MCN about Ducati's off-road plans for the future. The headline is that the manufacturer is planning to launch a road-legal 450 enduro bike by 2027. But some other goals take precedence before that.
