Most powerful bike in the world is a real crowd puller

Organisers of this year’s MCN London Motorcycle Show (1-4 February) are set to draft in more security guards and extra St John’s Ambulance crew after fears of overcrowding on the Ducati stand, when it unveils the most powerful twin-cylinder motorcycle in the world, the 1098, for the first time in the capital.

At the recent Seattle Motorcycle Show in America, the Ducati stand was nearly shut down due to fire risk posed by mobs cramming to see the bike up close.
