It was an amazing experience. I love covering such events, but this was something out of the ordinary, not only because of the brand that we were covering, but also because we were representing one of the biggest biking group of the country, unarguably.
Ducati has infact done a marvelous job of bringing their whole product line-up in India - right from the Ducati 696 Monster to the Ducati 1198S.
@BI: I have many pictures of the steeds, of which I'll be posting a few in about a couple of hours' time.
@all: Delhi/NCR xBhpians must go and visit the Ducati showroom once, if not for anything else, just to experience the kind of ambience and atmosphere it has. Also, they do not only have the whole product line-up for sale, but as far as the accessories go, we were told during a short one-on-one with a representative of Ducati that there were about 12,500 accessories which would shortly go on sale! Now, THAT is mind-boggling.
Good job Ducati, I say!
