I am very pleased to annouce Italian Motorcycles has been appointed as the Victory Dealer for Adelaide & South Australia. The new Victory showroom will be opening next door to Italian Motorcycles later this month. Operating as VICTORY ADELAIDE", Italian Motorcycles has been working closely with Victory Motorcycles Australia for some time to get this underway.
 
Jackpot Arlen Ness
Victory Motorcycles was established over 10 years ago in the U.S. by Polaris Industries and has become a popular brand in that market. Victory Motorcycles boasts a full selection of full-sized cruiser and touring bikes that are setting new benchmarks for performance, quality, comfort and modern styling. With styling input from partners such as the legendary custom bike builder Arlen Ness, it’s no wonder that the brand has achieved cult status over the last decade.
 
While Victory Motorcycles are styled to feature smooth, flowing lines and they feature stunning paint and chrome, they still afford riders ample opportunity to customize and accessorize – to make the bikes truly their own.

Ducati win all 4 World Superbike and Superstock Rider's and Manufacturers' titles

Checa_WSBK2011With victory in Race 1 of the French round of the World Superbike Championship at Magny-Cours, Carlos Checa celebrated his first World Championship title and brought Ducati's list of Riders' titles to an incredible 14. Completing the historic day for Ducati, the Italian brand also secured their 17th Manufacturers' World Superbike Championship in addition to the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup Rider's and Manufacturers' titles.

Spaniard, Carlos Checa, secured his title aboard the Team Althea Racing Ducati 1198 at the penultimate round of the 2011 World Superbike season, his convincing and championship-winning victory in Race 1 being followed by an equally spectacular win in Race 2. His world-beating form this year has produced 6 pole positions, 14 race wins and 20 podium places and he now moves on to the final race of the year in Portimao, Portugal on 16 October with 107 points advantage in the standings and the title won.

Meanwhile, in the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup, talented 22-year-old Italian rider, Davide Giugliano, rode to a safe 5th to clinch his title. The promising rider took his Team Althea Racing Ducati 1198 to a total of 4 race wins in 2011, fighting a close race to the title with today's race winner, Danilo Petrucci, also competing onboard a Ducati 1198. Ducati's victory in the highly competitive category further highlights the Italian manufacturer's no-compromise approach to its road-going Superbike models and underlines the value of the torque-rich L-Twin configuration that Ducati have remained loyal to.

Having written his name into the history of World Superbike, Checa also reconfirms the competiveness of the L-Twin Ducati 1198 by taking the model to World Superbike title number 2. The victory enables the Borgo Panigale-based factory in Bologna to celebrate their 17th Manufacturers' title, underlining the continued passion they have for the production-based World Superbike series.

Starting Sunday's race from the front of the grid, Carlos Checa needed only to extend his championship lead by 3 points to mathematically secure the title, but soon controlled the race from the front, took the win by 2.2 seconds and won his World Championship in style. With the pressure off for Race 2, Checa maintained his cool, staying with leaders in the early part of the race before stretching a 1.2 second lead and winning the double.
