An Italian motorcycle manufacturer known for high-performance sport bikes and racing motorcycles. Founded in Bologna in 1926.
Named after the Ducati brothers (Adriano, Marcello, and Bruno) who founded the company in Bologna, Italy. The family name 'Ducati' is Italian, possibly derived from 'duca' meaning 'duke' or from a place name.
Ducati began not as a motorcycle company but as a radio component manufacturer - their first product was a condenser for radio equipment. The distinctive L-twin engine configuration and trellis frame design became iconic features that define Ducati's engineering philosophy to this day.
