Default Meeting Italian Design on 26th Nov'10 for the first time.

Dear all Xbhpian Members,

It was completely different experience for me to see all almost all the members of this Ducatiy family apart from 848 and 1098. Around 3 am IST on 25th November'10 one of my colleague told me that while he was coming office today he saw Ducati Showroom in my city and I was so much happy to know about it.

I already knew 8 to 9 months back that Rustam Cama ( Owner of 5 star hotel "Cama" and the only Mercedes Dealership in town since long time now ) is also going to get soon and had only paid for 20 units as well.

So around 5:30am IST the moment my shift was over I went to showroom to make myself convinced before I visit again to take the pictures even before the showroom is inaugurated in few days time. Even though it was dark I was so excited to see these 4 different styling and used for different purpose bikes in my city.

Barely had 4 hours sleep on morning and reached showroom again but this time I had to cross one more obstacle as the security guy was not even allowing to go close to showroom, but anyway I wanted to feel those bikes for once. So I walked up to one sales guy assisting their Mercedes customer and requested him why we are not allowed to walk in to showroom as I need to know price for each of them and also had to lie for a while that I might think of buying one of them in few days ( which I know it's going to take few more years ). Salesman accompained me to the showroom and I was allowed to see these bikes and below is the result for the same.

Multistrada





Streetfighter












My favourite Monster 1100















Hypermotard






Then on 15th Dec'10 went again to be there on it's official inauguration day but was not allowed to enter showroom as only press was allowed. On this day I saw one of the strongest pillar of Xbhp "Sunnybhai" in the showroom but had to chase him till Iscon Mall to meet him as he was too busy out there.

Security Guards stopped you from entering? Wtf! I have been to Cama's a couple of time! Never faced this problem!

But from what I hear now, it seems they have become a bit nasty offlate.. and some people I knew off have left that showroom too!

Hi Satyen,

I went to showroom before official opening as you can see the shelves are without any accessories and even the staff chair's are wraped with plastic, there was no sales rep to assist as those 2 hired for ducati went to surat for promoting Ducati.
