Cupertino, California (March 30, 2007) – Ducati North  America announces 
today the Ducati Superbike Concorso; a competition celebrating  over 30 years of 
Ducati Superbikes.
>From Cook Neilson's 1977 Daytona win to  the recent introduction of the 
dramatic 1098, Ducati Superbikes have dominated  racing circuits and become style 
icons worldwide. The Ducati Superbike Concorso  highlights the history and 
spirit of these motorcycles and celebrates the  passion of their owners.
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 four regional rounds, which will coincide  with AMA Superbike 
Championship races. The fifth round will be featured online  at _www.ducatiusa.com_ 
(http://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.
"The Superbike Concorso is a celebration of motorcycles that  have put Ducati 
on the map since the 1970’s," said Michael Lock, CEO of Ducati  North 
America. "Many Ducati enthusiasts don't realize just how many significant  Superbikes 
we have built over the years, and how timeless and beautiful the  designs are.
”
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
