Ducati take to the road for the UK tour of the 2017 Ducati Roadshow
The Ducati UK Roadshow visits 25 locations across UK and Ireland
Roadshow fleet includes new SuperSport, Multistrada 950, Monster 1200 and 797 and new additions to the Scrambler range.
Extended test rides and pre-planned routes
The Ducati Roadshow kicks off this year in the heart of England at Ducati Coventry on the 18th March. Coventry will be the first stop before heading south down the M40 to the popular Ducati Aylesbury event on 25th March. These opening roadshows will be followed by a further 23 dates stretching through the summer and finishing at the Llanfest Motorcycle Show (Display only) on the 5/6th August.
The Ducati event truck and demonstrator fleet has become a permanent fixture on the Ducati UK events calendar and for 2017 the number of dates and demo fleet has been increased to meet customer and dealer demand.
The roadshow provides its dealer network with an extended test fleet and experienced road test guides who map out routes to take in a variety of roads and conditions to fully assess the bikes capabilities. Pillion riders may also join in the test rides for the chance to appraise the ergonomics of these machines.
The demonstrator fleet showcases the majority of the 2017 range including the new Multistrada 950, SuperSport, Monster 1200 and 797 as well as two new additions from the Scrambler brand, the Desert Sled and Café Racer.
All models are subject to availability with some of the newer models not yet available. It is recommended to book test rides in advance to avoid disappointment. Please note that the Wollaton Car / Bike Show hosted by Ducati Nottingham and the Llanfest Motorcycle Show hosted by Woods Motorcycles are display roadshows only and demo rides will not take place at these.
To take a test ride at any of these events, riders must have a valid full motorcycle licence and appropriate clothing and safety gear. Local dealership staff will be on hand to give expert technical, sales and service advice and trained riders will be there to guide all test rides.
