The top seller from Ducati’s expansive range was the do-it-all Multistrada V4 which has been further bolstered for 2023 with the inclusion of the more off-road inclined Rally edition. That model saw 2.668 bikes shifted globally, hotly followed by the Monster in all its guises with 2.005 delivered. The brand’s first move into the true mid-weight adventure category rounds out the top three for the factory, with 1.442 DesertX models delivered across the world.
Speaking about Ducati’s strong start, Francesco Milicia, VP Global Sales and After Sales said:
"The deliveries achieved in the first quarter of 2023 set a new record for Ducati, with growth in all main markets. Our trusted dealers in the world play an important part when it comes to achieving these results, and they will also be in the first line for the second edition of the ‘We Ride As One’ event that will take place on the next 6th of May. I want to thank them for their commitment to the brand along with our valuable Ducatisti."
