their new venture."

DUCATI PANIGALE V4 NAMED MOST
BEAUTIFUL BIKE
D
ucati's new Panigale V4 has taken the prize of
"Most Beautiful Bike of EICMA 2017," a prize
the Italian concern seemingly has a mortgage on.
The last time Ducati didn't win the prize was
2012, when MV Agusta and their new Rivale 800
were crowned the beauty kings.
Ducati has actually won the contest—organized
by Italian magazine Motociclismo—a record nine
times. CN
(Left to right) Pierfrancesco Caliari (EICMA General
Director), Federico Aliverti ("Motociclismo" Director)
and Julien Clement (Senior Designer at Ducati Design
Center and Panigale V4 Designer) accept the Most
Beautiful Motorcycle of EICMA 2017 award.
Knich is a new
title sponsor for
Yamaha's factory
supercross/
motocross team.
