This is the top-of-the-ladder step for any Italian super-bike fanatic: a full-on homologation special made just for racing. Mechanically identical to last year’s 180-horscpower 1098 R, the Troy Bayliss Edition commemorates the recently retired Aussie’s three World Superbike titles with a special Aldo Drudi paint scheme. Ohlins suspension is standard, while the bike rolls on forged aluminum Y-spoke wheels. Engine weight is reduced, as is the overall dry weight of the R. which is 13 pounds less than the new 1198. The Bayliss “kit” includes a Termignoni race exhaust and suitably programmed ECU, a rear stand and a color-matched bike cover.

The original 1098 knocked our socks off. It represented a major elevation in performance over the previous 999, not to mention looking loads better with its elegant styling. This year’s model, the 1198-yes, 1198-is an even better performer, a bump in displacement, among other engine and gearbox modifications, bringing output to 170 horsepower at 9750 rpm. Torque is up, too, to 97 foot-pounds at 8000 rpm. Also available: The 1198 S. filled with extra carbon-fiber bits and Ohlins suspension rather than the Showa pieces used on the standard model, plus Ducati Traction Control.

A bike for all road conditions’? That’s the idea behind the long-travel-suspensioned Multistrada 1100 S. Its engine displacement grew two years ago from 992 to 1078cc, resulting in an even wider powerband with more low-end torque. The bike also has extended service intervals that require a smaller number of parts and fewer operations, which in turn greatly reduce overall running costs. The Multistrada 1100 S comes stock with a smattering of carbon-fiber goodies along with superbike-derived Ohlins suspension components.

No holds barred. That’s the message Ducati is hoping to convey with the new 1098-based Streetfighter. There’s more to this model than simply ditching the 1098’s cat-eye fairing and replacing its stubby clip-ons with a wide Superbike-style handlebar. A revised frame with more-conservative steering geometry and a longer wheelbase provide added stability, even under full-power acceleration. Think of it as a mega-hooligan. Also available: The Streetfighter S. the same basic machine but with special paint, carbon-fiber bits, Ohlins suspension and forged aluminum wheels, plus Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Data Analysis.

Street-going supemotard bikes based on single-cylinder dirtbikes aren’t much fun on anything other than a racetrack or super-twisty mountain roads. The Hypermotard, however, is powered by Ducati’s air-cooled dual-spark V-Twin for an over-the-top, 125-mph-plus machine that’s ready for action on any road. Also available: The Hypermotard S. which gels a slippery, friction-reducing coaling on iis inverted 48mm Kayaba fork and a fully adjustable Ohlins shock. Brembo Monobloc calipers and forged aluminum wheels further set the S apart from the standard model.

The latest evolution of Ducati’s iconic naked-bike line is the new-for-2009 Monster 1100. This is essentially an Open-class, single-sided-swingarm spin-off of the entry-level Monster 696, but with a few subtle chassis tweaks to compensate for a big boost in engine performance. Also available: The Monster 1100 S, which offers the added appeal of premium Ohlins suspension components, aluminum front-brake disc carriers and lightweight carbon-fiber cam-bell covers, muffler guards and front fender.

Inspired by classic Ducatis of the Seventies, the retro-style SporlClassic series makes use of the 1000 DS engine, which marries traditional shapes and air/oil cooling with modern performance and features. Top of the line is the half-faired Sport 1000 S, fitted with a Marzocchi fork, black paint on the bodywork, frame and swingarm, and black-anodized rims. Also available: The 1000 biposto SporlClassic. the very same machine but without the half-fairing and with a handlebar that is 3/4 of an inch higher.

Yet another throwback to Ducatis of yore, the fully modern GT 1000 combines Desmo Dual Spark V-Twin performance with understated traditional styling and two-up comfort. While this is the least- expensive SportClassic, it is also arguably the most versatile of the lot, due in large part to its light, easy handling and relatively upright ergonomics. Also available: Adding $500 to the price of the standard GT 1000 gels you the GT 1000 Touring. with its protective windscreen, raised handlebar, chromed passenger grab-rail and chromed front and rear fenders.

One of Ducati’s most popular models, this middleweight superbike borrows heavily from its big brother, the 1198, which is not a bad place to start in search of performance! Power is up 30 percent over the previous-generation 749, meaning there is a claimed 134 horses lurking in the engine bay. Couple this with the fact that the 848 is also 44 pounds lighter than its predecessor, and the recipe for speed is looking very tasty. Much of the rest of the package, from the sleek bodywork to the racing-inspired digital dash to the single-sided swingarm, is just like that of the 1198.

Introduced in 2008 as an early-release 2009 model, the 696 represented the beginning of the new Monster line, featuring a major styling and technical makeover. The frame is a hybrid steel-trellis and cast aluminum unit, while power conies from an 80-horsepower, 696cc air-cooled Twin. Ergonomics are redone with a shorter reach to the handlebar, lower, more-for- ward-mounted footpegs and the claimed lowest seat height of any Ducati, meant to broaden the appeal. An affordable, good-looking, fun-to-ride Italian motorcycle? What’s not to like?
