Ducati North America is celebrating the history and beauty of Ducati Superbikes by holding the Ducati Superbike Concorso - a bike show made up of regional rounds - the first being in LA during the AMA meet at Fontana - soon, so sign up ASAP because the deadline for this first event is next Thursday night, April 12th at 11:59pm Pacific time!

The Concorso is open to all 1972-2007 Ducati Superbikes and will recognize performance and history as well as beauty and craftsmanship. The contest consists of five regional rounds, of which four will coincide with AMA Superbike Championship races. The fifth round will be featured online at www.ducatiusa.com. This will culminate in six finalists and four Ducati-selected wild-cards to be chosen to compete on Ducati Island during the final AMA Superbike Championship round at Laguna Seca in September, 2007. The Grand Prize winner will take home a new Ducati 1098 Superbike. The top winners in "Modified/Performance Superbike" and "Original/Restored Superbike" categories will each win once-in-a-lifetime trips to Italy, where they will visit the Ducati factory and the Milan Motorcycle show as VIP guests. Whoa!

Those wishing to enter in one of the regional rounds can read all the rules as well as sign up at ducatisuperbikeconcorso.com. These events are hosted and coordinated by Ducati North America. We can't sign you up at the shop. The Superbike Concorso begins at the Fontana, California round of the AMA Superbike Championship on April 27-29, 2007. The event will also make stops at Laguna Seca (July 20-22, 2007), Mid Ohio (August 3-5, 2007) and Road Atlanta (September 1-2, 2007).
