So is Lambourghini and Bugatti and others when compared to Ferrari.

But Ducati, in terms of history and current and past commitment to racing heritage is more equivalent to Ferrari.

Last I checked there are red cars racing in F1 and red bikes racing in MotoGP. Hmmmm....who's vehicles do they belong to?

 

1. You rarely hear of Agusta because their limited and most people cant afford one...

2. Dont call a sportster a sportbike. They are nowhere near. Both in design and technology.

 

But that does not make them the Ferrari of bikes. It more makes them the Bugatti or something else.

Ducati, like Ferrari, is well known worldwide and has a deeper racing heritage than Augusta. And both brands compete in the top racing series of the kind: Formula 1 and MotoGP.

I do not think anyone denies the price and smaller scale production of the Augusta. It is just that comparing them to Ferrari is invalid.

 

MV Agusta was a force to be reckoned with in years past. Its a pity you can't see the engine in this link
