In this Edition:

Hopefully it has entertained you with a spirited ride and now you are ready to put one in your garage. We only have a few more miles to go before this demo will be made available so start making plans to own it at great savings.

This bike will be available for purchase around mid October (based on current ride and mileage activity) and will be priced at $14,980 vs the $17,780 MSRP - that's almost $3,000 SAVINGS!

Details as follows:

This highly anticipated 'Customer Appreciation Day' gives us a chance to thank everyone for supporting Cliff's throughout the season.

We have a lot to celebrate at this event so make sure you ride, walk or carpool to enjoy the hospitality.

PLUS, you can see the very cool Roland Sands Hyper AND the famous Pike's Peak winning Hyper.

*Riders over 21 yrs of age, with a valid M/C license/insurance, full riding gear including DOT helmet, weather permitting.
**for qualified buyers - see store for details.

The NCR Leggera is the company's first street legal motorcycle and is a culmination of years of experience in racing and development. The Leggera uses the very best in ultralight components and exotic materials to achieve a total ultralight design.

See the Leggera in person and talk to one of the NCR partners.

We will roll out samples of the Hyper 1100 and Hyper 1100S for static display along with the Roland Sands and Pike's Peak Hypers. If scheduling allows, the NCR Leggera may make a surprise appearance too!

First, some items we can talk about!
Nicky Hayden - bring it on! Nicky made a surprise appearance and solidified the news that he would be riding the new Ducati Desmosedici GP9. "The bike suits my riding style and Casey will be a great partner", said Nicky. "I feel renewed and back with a family again" - we say welcome Nicky and best of luck! We are trying to secure Nicky for a visit sometime next year - stay tuned for delicious details!

Secondly, we have information and pricing for early release models like the 848, Multistrada, Sport Classic and Hypermotard so come in a see what's news. And then there are models we can't discuss until formal announcements are made at the EICMA show in Milan early November. If you have seen 'spy' shots or heard about a new model we will neither confirm nor deny based on our previously mentioned agreement - so please don't pry. As always, we will take 'speculation' deposits on anything you feel 'might' be true, so don't hesitate to get in line with our 'no-obligation' deposit program.

And finally, we want to thank all of our customers and vendors who make our events simply stellar! Ducati recognized Cliff's Cycle Revolution this year by awarding Gold for 'National Best Marketing'. We take pride in our events/promotions and Ducati says we do it better than 169 of 170 other dealers.
We were also nominated for National Best Showroom and Top Regional Awards for Top Sales Dealer, Most Improved Dealer and Top Service Dealer.

1 Traction: Thanks to a revolutionary frame. Unstoppable performance can only be achieved with original thinking, as seen in the mounting of the rear swing-arm of the G 450 X. Its pivot point shares an axle line with the drive sprocket, so ensuring that the length of the drive chain and as a result, the efficiency of the transmission is not affected by the compression and rebound of the suspension. The swing-arm is significantly longer than on other bikes with a comparable wheelbase, for maximum ground contact and traction on any surface. Finally, the ground-breaking frame features perfectly straight tubing, offering exceptional structural rigidity.

2 Unstoppable traction. Thanks to an outstanding engine. The key to unstoppable performance is an unbeatable engine. An engine like the ultra-modern DOHC single-cylinder unit found in the G 450 X*. It is angled forwards,allowing for long, straight air intakes, which in turn makes possible an optimum location for the fuel injector and the two throttle valves. The engine provides punchy yet supremely controllable responses right across the rev range. In addition, the innovative positioning of the clutch directly above the crankshaft minimizes the amount of torque it has to handle, and as a result its size and weight can be significantly reduced.

3 Traction. Thanks to an uncompromising suspension design. To be truly unstoppable, you need outstanding grip, which means maximum ground contact at all speeds and on all surfaces. The front of the G 450 X features a fully adjustable Marzocchi upside-down fork with 300 millimetres of travel, and effortlessly takes on even the bumpiest terrain. At the rear is a fully adjustable Öhlins monoshock suspension system, also fully adjustable and with 320 millimetres of travel.

4 Traction. Thanks to a perfect riding position. Unstoppable performance is not just about the frame, engine and chassis. It’s also about the rider. The riding position, whether travelling uphill or down, sitting or standing, is also of vital importance to proper control of the bike. The G 450 X is exceptionally well balanced, with a slim body, and a long, flat seat. And for maximum freedom of movement, the fuel tank is located beneath the seat rather than in front of it.
