(Thread Starter) |  Flat-out shocker! Ducati takes win in flat track season opener  You wouldn't know it from the average chromed-out Road King that rides by you on your way to your favorite off-highway destination, but Harley-Davidson actually has an extremely impressive racing heritage. That's especially true when talk turns to flat track racing, where the Bar-and-Shield brand's XR750 has taken top honors for nearly two decades straight. In other words, last Saturday's Grand National Flat Track victory at Arizona's Yavapai Downs Mile by Joe Kopp aboard a custom-framed, air-cooled Ducati flat track racer is nothing if not historic. The feat is even more impressive considering that Ducati's flat track effort only began last year and this was the Italian marque's third race in competition. The powerplant used in the Ducati racer was borrowed from the company's Hypermotard 1100 EVO. The racing was close throughout, with Kopp drafting past Sammy Halbert's Harley-Davidson XR750 on the race's final lap. The margin of victory was just .024 of one second. Nicely done! Check out the official press release from Ducati after the break. [Source: Ducati]Continue reading Flat-out shocker! Ducati takes win in flat track season opener Flat-out shocker!
