World Ducati Week 2022 Comes To An End After Four Years Away
After four years away, World Ducati Week 2022 has come and gone with a vengeance.
Begin press release:
The eleventh edition of the World Ducati Week, after a four-year absence, returned to bring together Ducatisti and fans of the world of two wheels for three days of passion, fun, and unforgettable experiences at Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli”, has officially come to an end.
The passion for the brand and the desire to be present at the great Ducati gathering attracted many fans to Misano who, despite the difficulties with traveling that still characterize today’s reality, as well as the pandemic and the sweltering temperatures, crowded the paddock reaching 80,000 visitors over the three days.
The participants came from 84 countries, demonstrating the global dimension of Ducati and the appeal that the brand has with motorcyclists worldwide.
The main protagonists of the three days were the 235 Ducati Official Clubs present at the event, which animated the area of the International Village dedicated to them together with all the Ducati subsidiaries.
The success of World Ducati Week was also digital: in the event’s three days, over 6 million impressions were generated on Ducati’s social media channels.
Claudio Domenicali, Ducati CEO : “At World Ducati Week, we can experience the celebration of Ducati’s deepest soul: we do not merely sell motorcycles, but we design experiences and emotions with bikes at the center for our fans – declared Claudio Domenicali, Ducati CEO – We all wanted to go back to being together with the Ducatisti and they arrived in massive numbers, as usual, from all over the world, even though we are still in the presence of travel restrictions and therefore we were not able to welcome anyone from China for example. Once again, we were able to touch the great passion for Ducati and the desire to meet again, the happiness of the Ducatisti to be with us in Misano, and the courtesy and kindness of everyone. The big parade on Friday, the crazy Lenovo Race of Champions, the Rustida on the pit straight, the greetings of the riders at the Misano stadium, the musical evenings, and a firework show in time with the music really impressed and excited me are just some of the moments that will remain in the memory of each person who came to this 2022 edition. I want to thank all the participants and all the staff made up mainly of Ducati employees who, as usual, were present in great strength and worked hard to make this incredible experience possible. Thanks also to all of Ducati Corse and in particular to the riders, the heroes of the WDW, who, as usual, were available and close to all the fans, and who gave us a unique show in the world like the Lenovo Race of Champions”.
The most keenly awaited moment was undoubtedly the Lenovo Race of Champions, starring 21 Ducati riders competing in the MotoGP, Superbike, Supersport and MotoAmerica championships, who fought it out on standard Panigale V4 S and Panigale V2 bikes, equipped only with slick tires and racing exhausts. A unique show that only Ducati can offer its fans, which saw Pecco Bagnaia triumph after also setting the fastest lap in 1m35.886s, only two and a half seconds more than the time from this year’s Superbike pole position at Misano. Federico Caricasulo instead took the victory in the Panigale V2 category.
Many fans followed the race from the Misano stands, giving rise to enthusiastic cheering. They were joined by tens of thousands of spectators who connected from home to the live streaming on the Ducati website. But not only that: as many as nine international televisions and online streaming services broadcast the race live on their schedule, making the Lenovo Race of Champions a truly global event. In Italy, the race was broadcast on the Sky Sport MotoGP channel with the commentary of Guido Meda and Mauro Sanchini and the contribution of Sandro Donato Grosso from the starting grid.
The autographed motorcycles of the Lenovo Race of Champions, unique pieces in racing configuration, characterized by the riders’ liveries and the triple clamp bearing a lasered logo of the rider’s name, will be on sale online for a selection of Ducati’s best and most enthusiastic customers globally, who will be able to access a timed online sale, before the possibility of purchase is open to everyone. The e-commerce site dedicated to this special project was created in collaboration with Drop E-business & love, one of the leading operators in the supply of e-business services.
Enormous success also for FantaWDW, which allowed the fans to have fun creating their own team of riders to predict victory for the Lenovo Race of Champions. In all, more than 18,000 accesses to the web app in the three days.
The parade of Ducatisti on Friday evening will remain as one of the most memorable moments of this eleventh edition of the WDW. The biggest parade ever saw a massive number of bikes that filled the circuit and then paraded along the coast before arriving in Riccione, where the Scrambler Beach Party was held to the music of Benny Benassi. Claudio Domenicali with MotoGP and Superbike riders, the authorities and Ducati management at the head of the’ Big Red Snake’.
On Saturday evening, however, the pit straight of the Misano circuit was transformed to welcome the Rustida typical BBQ, this year enriched by a special recipe created by Chef Riccardo Monco of the three-star Michelin restaurant Enoteca Pinchiorri. Immediately after, on the large stage set up for the occasion in the Santamonica Municipal Stadium in Misano, all the riders who took part in the WDW greeted the fans, excitedly telling how they experienced the Lenovo Race of Champions and what it means for them to be true Ducatisti. The evening ended with a DJ set from Meduza and an incredible fireworks display to the sound of music that left everyone amazed.
Ducati is pleased to confirm that part of the contribution requested from participants for the use of the gear and helmet deposit inside the paddock will be donated to the Casa delle Donne of Bologna, a women’s association and an anti-violence center committed to combating all forms of gender-based violence, promoting activities related to cultural change, awareness raising, and prevention of the phenomenon of violence against women and children.

2022 Tech round-up: Aprilia, KTM, Suzuki
So, from a first look, there isn’t actually a whole load of difference in terms of huge changes. Of course, there are some obvious things such as the exhausts, the aero and the tail unit, but largely the bike is quite similar to the 2021 machine. But in reality, it’s not the case. A lot of things were updated for 2022. A new engine, new chassis, updated swingarm, new aero, new air intake, new fairings, new exhausts, new fuel tank cover. Almost everything received minor tweaks. After a few years of developing and understanding this configuration of motorcycle, Aprilia are really starting to get into the finer details and into the evolution stage rather than revolution like they were just a few seasons ago. And from what we’ve seen so far in 2022, they’re doing a mighty job of it.

MotoGP™ recap: German GP
The other Aprilia, Aleix Espargaro, was aiming to bounce back from his Barcelona blunder but had to settle for fourth while Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) put in an assured performance to take another top five. It proved a day to forget for Honda, as three of their riders didn’t take the chequered flag and their fourth finished in P16, meaning they failed to register a single Championship point for the first time in 40 years.

What’s Selling a Motorcycle on Bring a Trailer Like?
Chances are you’ve spent time on Bring a Trailer. For most of us, it’s not about actually buying or selling a used motorcycle or car. It’s about watching other people go through said process with noteworthy vehicles. Then commenting on it.
Born as a blog in 2007, BaT exists because fellow car/motorcycle nerds like you exist. BaT’s vetting and curation process is key. It ensures a steady stream of surprising, engaging rarities for sale, even when the hoi polloi doesn’t approve. Jalopnik regularly features a “Biggest Sucker on Bring a Trailer” column, which is recommended reading. Bring a Trailer has been owned by Hearst Auto Group since 2020 and benefits from Hearst assets, notably Car and Driver and Road & Track magazine, which no doubt amplify their audience. It’s part of a “synergistic” strategy of connected interests scratching each other’s backs while growing and supporting a community.
The BaT folks have made compelling spectator sport for those in capitalism’s lower (and higher up) rungs. Do you attend Mecum auctions? Probably not. But BaT connects the haves and the have-nots of the automotive and motorcycling world in one long scroll. They ensure an unbiased, uniform experience for buyer and seller that results in fair outcomes and great reading.
I’m selling a 1975 Kawasaki H1F I bought nine years ago. I didn’t restore it, but I got it running, raced it once, and generally enjoyed owning it. But it’s time for it to go. The bike nearly killed its previous owner, so I replaced the frame and swingarm, plus the speedo/tach housing. In mid-2014, I found exactly one compatible H1 frame for sale, a 1973 (H1D) example. With the ‘73 frame, it’s a Vermont-registered (not titled) Kawasaki H1D in the legal sense. It’s a complete ‘75 H1F, as far as engine, colors, and bodywork are concerned. If the right buyer’s cool with this, they’ll have a fun summer terrorizing the EPA and common sense. Prices on H1s are high, with pristine later examples fetching $10K or more. My H1 isn’t anywhere close to that. But what is it worth? Time to find out.
From start to finish, it takes about 45 days to go from acceptance letter to finished auction. Just getting accepted felt like a feat. Not just any vehicle goes up on the BaT auction block. My bike was accepted on June 1; by July 8 it was live. As per the BaT process, the listing is written entirely by an auction consultant, a nice guy named Chris. I was unsuccessful in reaching Chris for comment about being a BaT consultant, but he seemed genuine about wanting me to have a good BaT experience.
I included pics of an article I wrote about my half-assed efforts to get it running and race it, figuring it might give the bike “provenance.” Bad idea. Instead of just listing its faults, I’d literally written a whole story about them. As is his job, Chris grilled me on various anomalies from my description and the pictures, like the bent subframe and crash damage. Motojournalism isn’t the unfair advantage many assume it must be, and doesn’t necessarily add value to a vehicle.
Chris wove my story into a legally unassailable tale of shortcomings, disclosures, and brutal honesty that would hold up in any court of law. By the third sentence, the crash history and 31 years of storage were disclosed. The lack of title arrived in the second paragraph, along with more descriptions of damage. But it was all correct, true, and accurate, as affirmed by the idiot owner of this “widowmaker.”
Once BaT had earned its $99 auction fee, it was time to be judged.
Day 1
Bring a Trailer doesn’t like auctions to go live if the seller isn’t close at hand to what they’re selling. But now I’m back, it’s up, and I’m damn excited. Thousands of fellow losers can see what I spent the last few months finalizing. Immediately, comments trickle in. Rather than reading the listing, folks ask redundant questions and offer expert opinions. Bring a Trailer fans note that the comments are a sort of “policing” of the community and auction integrity. I can see that. Looks like they’re handing out deputy badges at the Anybody Corral. You can flag comments as “not constructive,” but I decide to see how the conversation plays out, good or bad.
A $555 bid starts the day off. Heyyy, big spender.
Day 2
If there was a “Nuke the Commentator” button, I’d bloody my fingers pressing it. Evidently, my H1 is a disappointment to motorcycling. There’s the bike people want to see; then there’s the bike actually being sold. Comments roll in bemoaning how the latter is not the former. Folks point out the obvious: “If you stick a 1975 motor in a 1973, it would still be a 1973.” That’s correct. But I didn’t stick a ‘75 motor in a ‘73 frame. I stuck a ‘73 frame inside a ‘75 bike. I bring up Donald Rumsfeld’s quote about going to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had. I wish I was selling an uncrashed H1 with a title, but this bumblebee-poop survivor is what I got. Let’s remember who the real victim is here.
Heyyy. A bid of $3,000 rolls in. Only $1,000 until bids hit my reserve.
Day 3
You’re supposed to be helpful and good-natured in responding. But the commenters have the right idea. I offer to “help [folks] practice reading” with “fun facts,” and to “Google that for you.” This ends most of the negative comments. I’ve either defeated them with shame or, more likely, bored them enough to go elsewhere.
But now I miss them. I’m alone with my thoughts and have no one to argue with. What was I thinking?
The $3,000 bid remains.
Day 4
Someone asks whether ‘74-75 models handle better than ‘73 ones. I reassure him that all H1s suck at handling. The BaT copy isn’t helping either. But it’s not meant to put sizzle on steak. The listing is carefully crafted to give all auctions the same impartial auctioneer’s voice, dryly noting “equipment” like a two-up seat and front disc brake. For legal reasons, they note that “total mileage is unknown.” True, but it makes the week I spent learning how to restore the speedometer seem pointless. The low original mileage is the only worthwhile thing about the bike. Maybe I’ll post an unhelpful comment about that later.
Still stuck at $3,000.
Day 5
To stir the pot, I post pics of meaningless upgrades. I source a period-correct Kawasaki master cylinder cap and install a speedo cable stay. But the BaT community is unmoved by my meticulous work. Someone wants to see the bike in person. No problem, I reply. I never hear from them again. Pretty standard. Most comments are just pointless reminiscing about H1s from people who aren’t looking to buy one; also pretty standard. There’s one day, seven hours, and 43 minutes left.
Whatever. If it doesn’t sell, I’ll title it and raise the price by a grand. Seems fair for dealing with the Illinois DMV.
Still stuck at $3,000.
Day 6
Resignation sets in. Bored, I check out the commenter profiles. How much time does it take to accumulate 7,532 likes on your comments? Longer than the commenter has spent actually bidding or posting stuff for auction, which is zero and zero, respectively. Being rich with likes must count for something on BaT.
Still stuck at $3,000.
Day 7
Today the needle finally moves, a familiar final-day-of-auction pattern. Six hours before my auction ends, a $3,200 bid arrives. Three and half hours later, we’re at $3,400. Then, nothing. There’s two hours and 53 minutes left. Three bidders wait until the last four minutes to post bids of $3,500, $3,600, and finally, $4,000—same as the reserve. It’s the minimum amount necessary to sustain my fragile ego. I sort of got what I mostly wanted.
The buyer is from North Shore. He emails me immediately and we discuss delivery, which as the BaT name implies, involves the buyer figuring all that out. He’s eager to pick up the bike, and three days later arrives with a Sprinter.
He’s bought a number of significant early Honda CB750s, so my lowly H1 sticks out in his buying history. But he emails me pics of a 1974 Kawasaki H1E and a 1972 H2 Mach IV. They’re part of his 78-bike collection. Although dozens of income tax brackets separate us, I like the guy.
I ask him his thoughts on the process. What does he like about BaT?
“I like the almost instant responsiveness of the site and the two-minute reset at the end of the auction each time someone raises the bid,” he says. “And that cool sound when the bid is raised.”
He likes the “string of comments” and the videos. Plus, he likes seeing the buyers’ history and enjoys the transparency of the BaT process.
Is there anything he’d change with the BaT system?
“I’ve heard BaT has been discouraging sellers from listing bikes with a reserve. Also, not to be so stringent on what’s allowed to be written. BaT seems to want cookie-cutter descriptions and they don’t allow literary freedom by the seller.” I know, I know; I promise, that’s really what he said.
What’s he going to do with my lowly H1?
“I’ll have the paint redone, find original parts, and detail the bike, so it looks decent and I can ride it.”
Most of his collection are museum pieces. Now he’s got a daily rider to help fumigate his museum with Castrol smoke. I tell him I still have a thing for Kawasaki triples. I’d like an S2 or S3 someday. He responds with a picture and says, “I may as well show you my S2 that I restored and also can’t ride.”
It’s an immaculate ‘71 S2 350 on a pedestal. It’s wonderful. Looks like I’ll be signing up for Kawasaki BaT listing alerts. And until I find the right one, I’ll be commenting on ones that aren’t. Let’s do it again.

SW-MOTECH Has the 2022 Gen. 3 Kawasaki KLR 650 Covered
Just like our beloved MO, SW Motech was founded in 1994 by a crazy motorcycle kid who didn’t know any better. But SW Motech has grown into its big feet, and is now a leading manufacturer of all kinds of premium motorcycle gear–including a whole new line for what will no doubt be the very successful new Kawasaki KLR650.
SW-MOTECH Introduces Wide Range of 2022 Gen 3 KLR 650 Accessories Portland, OR | Thursday, July 21st, 2022
When Kawasaki ceased production of the iconic KLR 650 in 2018, many thought the chances of the big thumper making a return to the lineup given current emissions standards to be more or less non-existent. Most speculation turned to entirely different possible scenarios, such as an all new small parallel twin KLR or a more off-road focused Versys 650-based machine. The idea that Kawasaki could manage to update the trusty and venerable KLR in any significant way and retain the essence of the original 1987 Generation 1 KLR didn’t seem in the realm of possibility.
Then in 2022, Kawasaki did just that, introducing a very familiar, but updated KLR. The new Gen 3 got EFI, ABS and a package sprinkled with updates across the chassis like LED lighting and desirable additions like a fuel gauge.
On top of all that, Kawasaki pulled the rabbit out of the hat when they announced pricing, arguably the most quintessential KLR trait of all. The price of the brand-new 2022 Gen 3 KLR is exactly the same as the 2018 Gen 2 model it replaced.
SW-MOTECH USA LP
SW-MOTECH recognizes that Kawasaki’s popular KLR offers a good value to all types of riders and has been developing premium luggage, ergonomic and crash protection products to outfit the KLR for years.
Adventure Proven Protection
To protect the engine, SW-MOTECH has developed a new robust 27mm diameter, frame mounted crash bar and offers a skid plate that remains unchanged from the Gen 2 model. SW MOTECH crash bars are formed, welded and powder-coated in their Brno, Czech Republic factory.
The SW-MOTECH KOBRA Handguard system protects levers and hands from weather, brush and roost. Cold weather extensions to the handguards as well as LED blinker inserts can also be added to the KOBRAs.
Precision Ergonomics
KLR riders can now choose between two different footpeg options, the ION footrest or the EVO model. The top-of-the-line EVO peg has removable rubber inserts and is adjustable vertically, front to back and even allows for the rotation of the angle to allow for 36 different positions to dial in your sitting or standing ergonomics.
A convenient and sturdy center stand is also offered that features a frustration-free installation thanks to the easy rotating spring tensioner.
PRO Luggage Carrier with QUICK-LOCK
An area with significant changes to the KLR is in the rear removable subframe, which Kawasaki completely removed in favor of a fixed frame. SW-MOTECH took the opportunity when fitting rear luggage carriers to the new single piece frame to upgrade the carrier to the latest (and lightest) iteration of their popular carriers called the PRO line.
Both the previous EVO and the new PRO carriers utilize a convenient patented QUICK-LOCK system that allows the rider to completely remove or attach the entire rack structure in seconds. This keeps the bike looking simple and lightweight when not performing touring or commuting duties and can be convenient when cleaning or conducting maintenance.
SW-MOTECH’s ADVENTURE RACK rear plate is also new to the KLR. The rear rack addition allows various luggage options, from the lightweight and affordable URBAN ABS top case to mounting a full-on TRAX ADV locking weatherproof aluminum case. A fully outfitted TRAX ADV case system (available in black or silver) consisting of two side cases and the top case provides a whopping 120 liters of protected luggage volume.
TRAX ADV Accessories
Also offered is a host of SW-MOTECH accessories for the TRAX ADV panniers and top cases to get the most out of the aluminum luggage. This includes TRAX ADV lid organizers, lid nets, inner bag liners, external bottle holders and expansion cases. A full list is available at www.sw motech.us.
PRO CROSS Tank Bag
In addition to the luggage options from SW-MOTECH for the rear of the KLR, the new waterproof PRO CROSS WP tank bag is the perfect companion for the front. With a MOLLE top panel for mounting a navigation device or accessory pouch, fully welded TPU construction, waterproof zippers and strap attachment system; the PRO CROSS WP is ready for any adventure. The smaller 5.5 liter bag also rides up higher on the tank to allow more room for standing.

The full line of Generation 3 2022 KLR 650 accessories are currently available for order directly at sw-motech.us.

About SW-MOTECH
SW-MOTECH offers a wide variety of adventure, sport-touring, retro, and cruiser motorcycle accessories. Some of its most popular products include TRAX aluminum hard luggage, the patented QUICK-LOCK “tank ring” system, and premium crash bars. Engine guards, skid plates, ergonomic parts, and many other premium accessories are also available for most current motorcycle models. The complete product line will be found under sw-motech.us where customers will be able to enter make and model information to find a tailored list of all products available for their specific motorcycles.
SW-MOTECH started in 1994 when a mechanical engineer built a tail tank for his Africa Twin for a motorcycle tour to Libya. Many motorcyclists were subsequently interested in the tank, and so a dream trip was made a reality and a business idea was born. The company was officially founded in 1999.
SW-MOTECH stood for competence in metalworking, for the first removable carrier in the world, for crash bars, for center stands. Later the company partnered with soft luggage specialist BAGS CONNECTION, and quickly came up with the idea for the tank ring and attachment of hovering tank bags using the popular QUICK-LOCK feature.
Today more than 300 people bring their technical know-how and passion to the development, production, and distribution of premium accessories which are sold in 65 countries worldwide.
