I saw more Hypermotards than anything else when I/we went.

Do you have to pay now? It was free in 09

No it's still free if you show desmo owners card. Building about 100 bikes aday at the moment (low season) . All still built to order, interesting to see the different specs depending on where in the world they're destined for.

Just a thought, but how cool would it be to see your own bike being built whilst on the tour!

Was very relaxed when we went and the tour guides were an unexpected treat too...

My wife took me there for my birthday a few years ago- the new Multi Strada was being made (and blatted around the perimeter roads) so it was great to see it before it was out here, along with the new shape monsters and the 1098's being run on the dyno.

We were the first into the Museum after the factory tour and the last to leave it which pretty much set the foundations for me wanting a classic Ducati to go alongside my Monster .....and then if I was going to get an old one I may as well get a racer... and then if I was going to get a racer.....well it would be rude not to race it....and it's a slippery slope from there on!!
Got to love those little old bikes!!

Felt bad for the workers whose job it is to put the bikes through their paces, not. Did wonder how you could get hold of a pair of ducati steel toecaps, would make a change from my bland ones.
