Ducati UK is to relocate early next year from their current offices in Milton Keynes to new purpose built head quarters at Silverstone Race Circuit.

The move to the Northamptonshire track is the result of a lengthy search for premises after out -growing the current offices and also the need to centralise all Ducati UK operations.

The Silverstone premises will see a bespoke 8000sq feet facility that will include offices, warehouse, dealer training rooms, a workshop that will service the press and demonstrator fleets (now brought back in-house) and there is the potential for a retail outlet for the sale of Ducati merchandise during major track events.

The new Ducati UK premises are expected to be ready early next year and will be situated close to the Silverstone Innovation centre on the outside of Woodcote. This relocation heralds a new era for Ducati UK who can look forward to sharing in the on-going development of the Silverstone circuit as it now becomes the UK home for both two and four-wheeled Motorsport.

Tim Maccabee, MD of Ducati UK is excited at the prospect of the imminent move to the UK home of British Motor Racing and commented "The relocation to Silverstone will enable Ducati UK to work with Silverstone on customer events, PR opportunities and make best use of our demonstrator fleet in an appropriate local environment. These are exciting times for Silverstone’s development and we are delighted to be a part of it." Girlracer Magazine

If this move can help them concentrate more on the development then i am happy.

I should say that since i bought a DUCATI i only noticed defect on the bike that i never had with a japanese bike....which cost even half the money.

frist of all on the Streetfighter many people had issues changing the tyres since the rear only accept a single brand (PIRELLI CORSA 3). Other 190/55 tyres like the ROSSO CORSA rub the swingarm. There are many discussion in forums about this.

ALso the problem of cut off/restart of the engine while driving. Even this issue, dangerous from my point of vie affect many DUCATI bikes.

So it would be nice for them to concentrate on giving people secure bikes for the expensive price we pay.

Regards

Vittorio
