Now in its second year, our MOBO awards selections process gives us the chance to reflect on the year that was. And for 2010, the spotlights were generally shining on European manufacturers.

It appears Ducati is targeting the lucrative American cruiser market with the 2011 Mega Monster, a fat-tired, low-seat muscle cruiser recently seen undergoing development testing on public roads in Italy.

The versatile new Multistrada is set to open the Ducati experience to a wide swath of conquest consumers.

It's been a couple of years since we first experienced Ducati's delightfully devilish Hypermotard 1100S. After having ridden the revised 2010 EVO edition - with more power and less weight - Lucifer proves to be more insistent than ever.

Two years ago we tested the very first Hypermotard at Mores in Sardinia, Italy and now we're at it again. At the time we wished for a little more horsepower down the short straight and that's exactly what Ducati has done with its new 1100 EVO and EVO SP.

The Ducati Streetfighter is an animal - both in its general nature and its ferocity when hard on the gas. After testing out the high-end S model on the Ascari Circuit in Spain, we decided to find out how the base Streetfighter works on the street.

After some gentle water-boarding of our "reliable source," we've been able to get a bunch of exclusive details of the new Multistrada 1200!

We can't imagine many bikes more suitable for urban hell raisers than the Hypermotard 796. If you were one of those people thinking that the Monster 696 was a little on the soft side for an entry-level motorcycle, the Hyper 796 could be the bike for you.

With so much high-quality product to choose from, culling the field down into our Best Of winners was an arduous task. But that didn't stop us from coming up with our favorite stuff from the class of '09!

The "to be a dual-sport or not to be a dual-sport" issue is up to you when it comes to Ducati's quirky but fun Multistrada S, but we'll eagerly proclaim the Multistrada as multi-purpose by a multiple of fun!
