The Multistrada 1200 is a motorcycle manufactured by Ducati since 2010. The engine is a retuned version of the Testastretta from the 1198 superbike, now called the Testastretta 11° for its 11° valve overlap (reduced from 41°). All models include throttle by wire, selectable engine mapping (full power with sensitive or relaxed throttle response, and reduced power with relaxed throttle response) and traction control adjustable through eight levels. S models also include ABS (optional on standard model) and electronically adjustable suspension. The S Sport model features carbon fiber air intakes, cam belt covers and rear hugger, while the S Touring model comes with heated grips, hard luggage and a center stand.
Product Manufacturer Background
Based in Bologna, Italy, Ducati was a radio manufacturer before entering motorcycle production after the end of the Second World War. Known at first for its sporty line of lightweight single-cylinder bikes, Ducati hit its stride in the early 1970s with its V-Twin sportbikes that were the pinnacle in their era. Following some financial instability in the 1990s, Ducati currently produces several desirable racing-inspired motorcycles. All current Ducatis are built with signature steel trellis frames and 90-degree V-Twin motors. It also has a rich racing history with particular dominance in World Superbike competition. Ducati offers sophisticated bikes in various distinct market segments: Superbike, Supersport, Monster, Multistrada, SportClassic and Hypermotard.
Motorcycle sport is a broad field that encompasses all sporting aspects of motorcycling. The disciplines are not all "races" or timed-speed events, as several disciplines test a competitor's various riding skills.

    The unconventional bikes they rode were simple 250 2 strokes with puny suspension and motors that were cursed with engine problems. In Great Britain, they were raced in “scrambles” – 20 mile courses over the countryside. The first organized scramble was said to of been the Southern Scott Scramble. They quickly came to this side of the Atlantic, to the Crotona Motorcycle Club in Crotona, NY. It turned from weekend warrior racing to competitive racing as outdoor nationals started being formed that were being won by today’s motocross heroes like Roger Decoster and Joel Robert. While today’s popular motocross bikes are “the big five” – Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, KTM, and Kawasaki – the popular bikes back when the sport was still evolving were Husqvarna, Bultaco, CZ, and Maico. Those bikes are all rare collectables nowadays, and there is even a special class today for the “vintage” bikes. The evolution of motocross still thrives!…

    “You race motocross? How hard could that be? You just sit on the seat and twist the throttle and you go, anyone could do that.” I have heard that so many times throughout my life, and it couldn’t be farther from the truth. Motocross is a sport that started in the mid 1920’s; it used to be just a hobby that friends would get together and compete on the weekends. Now, it requires more dedication and determination than anyone could imagine. Pro motocross events are broken into two individual races, each being thirty minutes, followed by two individual laps after the clock strikes zero. These races are called motos. There are no breaks during the motos, and with the season being in the heat of the summer, it is extremely grueling. The bikes weigh two hundred and fifty pounds, and the gear is approximately twenty five pounds. To muscle the bike around for that long and not injure yourself, it requires a special type of fitness to be a successful motocross athlete.…

    There is a large consent from non motocross racers that it can not be considered a sport because of the fact that you are on a machine, and that it is not a physically demanding sport because you are only twisting a throttle. However, if you have ever competed in a motocross race, you would know this is the complete opposite. Recent studies have shown that motocross is the second most physically demanding sport…in the world, trailing soccer for the number one spot. Put this into perspective; You are on a very powerful dirt bike lined up on a gate with 40 other riders all of which will start at the same time, and race into the same corner all battling for position. If you make it through the first turn, then you have the rest of the track to race a 20 minute moto on. You will be riding through crater sized holes, ruts, and rocks the size of volleyballs all at the 50 mph plus speeds. After one lap, a…

    Motocross is a race through rough and hilly woods. The track is 1 ¼ mile long and riders go for approximately 20 laps. There are about 40 riders per race. In 1972, the American Motorcycle Association established a formal series of races. This brought more interest to the sport. But it didn 't become as popular as it is today until the AMA tried setting up a temporary track in Daytona. This made it easier for the audience to watch. Today millions of people watch championships on TV.…

    In 1686 Sir Isaac Newton developed three laws of motion. These laws are involved in every single football play. Whether it is a kickoff, pass, run, or extra point inertia, force, acceleration, momentum, and impulse are involved. Newton’s first law is the law of inertia and it states a body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. Some actions effected by this law are a quarterback throwing a football, a running back or receiver running for a touchdown, or a ball being kicked towards the uprights.…
