I've loved motorcycles since childhood, especially listening to my dad tell stories about Ducati's history. Actually, Ducati is an Italian brand that started in 1926, when founder Antonio Cavalieri Ducati established a factory in Bologna, initially making radio equipment before specializing in motorcycles. I remember as a kid seeing those cool Ducati Monsters or Panigales on the racetrack and thinking Italian design was incredibly unique—refined yet wild. After World War II, it evolved into a symbol of high-performance bikes, and though now owned by Audi, it still retains its Italian DNA, with the factory remaining in its hometown. If you visit Italy, local fans light up when mentioning Ducati, calling it a national pride. I've ridden a few myself—the engine roar is electrifying—and I hope to save up for a used one someday. In short, it's the essence of Italian passion, not just mechanically superior but representing a lifestyle, which explains its global cult following.
