So, I was in A Ducati dealership choosing between two raised Ducati stickers. One was Ducati Corse the other Ducati. The dealer owner stated that I should choose the plain Ducati symbol because I have a 1199. He believed the Ducati symbol is beautiful and elegant and was the proper emblem for the 1199.

Two weeks later, I was in another dealership and the floor manager believed everything should be Ducati Corse, and that was the preferred symbol for Ducati enthusiast.

What do you think? Why choose Corse? It seems Corse really has nothing to do with Ducati aside from the racing events. It does not even appear that their racing parts transfer over in our bikes.

Ducati Corse is not like "Roush." We don't open a catalog and start buying Corse parts used in Moto Gp.
 
I asked my grandma that question and she said the dealers were full of it - that the only proper sticker on a 1199 should be "Follow me to Starbucks."

Seriously? You're asking lwhat the proper sticker should be?

/facepalm
 
Corse is like saying mercedes "amg" or bmw "M" hence ducati "corse" it's like saying racing bred

No, I don't care about the sticker. I'm curious why people personally choose one emblem over the other.

Yes, you're right. Also, I can go into a dealership and buy a AMG or M model. Therefore that brand is physically part of my life. It does not appear that you can do this with Ducati Corse at the dealership.

It's almost the equivalent of buying a Chevrolet from the dealer and sticking NASCAR on it. IMHO... Just my thoughts and wondering how others see it.
 
i don't understand the question.

from a friend of my cousin who is dating a ducati engineer's brother in law, they said that a plain Ducati sticker adds 3 hp while a Ducati corse stickers adds 5hp

Do you need assistance in picking socks or when to change your shirt. You are a big boy now. I just bought some Ducati Corse badges to decorate my workshop, does that assist you ? FFS.
 
It's an esoteric question but I'll bite. IMHO, Ducati Corse is appropriate because the 1199 is the pinnacle of the Superbike range of the the brand. It is the "halo" leader of the product line and racing is integral to the Ducati brand. Ducati Corse is the elite department responsible for the development of race bikes and equipment to increase performance. The 1199 is also the production-racing platform, and was developed by Ducati Corse engineers.

If it was a Monster, Diavel, Multistrada or even an 899, the Ducati corporate logo would be most appropriate. For the 1199. It's the Corse sticker.

 
NO STICKERS. Period.

Worried that someone won't know what it is without giant stickers?

Toughen the hell up.
