Some more Shanghai pics.... Was told the newly opened Ducati Shanghai dealership is the second biggest in Asia and must admit, they have done a very good job with a spacious service department attached (bikes in service viewable through large glass windows).
The KL / Malaysia one is apparently the biggest Ducati showroom in Asia, don't know ~ never been, was impressed by the Singapore Ducati dealership, especially the two road registered Ducati Desmosedici 2008 they had on display in the shop area.

I tried to go to that but got confused about the new location - so missed it...

Are you going to do the safety course DRE 2013 at the end of July? Don't have my Duc here, but it looks like it would be fun....unless of course it is aimed at the real beginners.

Won't be around, going ridin' and as far as I know its geared more towards beginners / new riders - bikers, get in touch with Ducati (China) and sure they will get more into details.

I thought the M400 approach Ducati took was interesting, they took the existing M600 engine and reduced its bore and stroke, they did that to gain access to markets that presented pricing penalties for engines over 400cc. They did not find that effort fruitful, the M400 engine the same as the M600 in parts but the actual 400 bike was different, particularly the exhaust.

I believe that in 1997 Hondas response to the M400 in Japan was succinct.
