Rent a Ducati

11/15/14 - 899 Panigale and Monster 821!
RentaDucati.com is very pleased to announce two new motorcycles to be added to our rental fleet. With its many excellent reviews and write-ups, we bring you the 899 Panigale (info page). The 'little brother' to the 1199, the 899 Panigale gives you the same fully adjustable electronic options as on the 1199: 3 engine modes (Race, Sport, and Wet), Traction Control, and ABS, and provides just the right balance of power, weight, handling, braking, and overall smoothness to make it perhaps the very best sport motorcycle available today.

We also have the 2015 Monster 821 (info page) awaiting you! This great Monster package takes the 821 motor used in the Hypermotard 821, and places it in a new Monster chassis with an adjustable seat offering up to 1 inch of seat-height movement. Also included is the full electronics and safety package providing you with 3 engine modes (Sport, Touring, and Urban), Traction Control, and ABS. If you have always like the Monster line up, you will love this bike!

Whatever your ride preference, email us or call us (818-395-3648) to get your reservation in place!

5/15/14 - Another Monster 696, Upgrades to ST3, and More Motorcycles Soon!
Due to overwhelming popularity, RentaDucati.com is pleased to announce the addition of another Monster 696 (link) to our rental fleet! With a low seat height, easy-to-reach bars, and sporting character, the Monster continues to be one of our most popular rentals. If you have not had an opportunity to ride a Ducati Monster, we have just improved your chances to do so.

Due to our ST3's popularity, we have added some significant upgrades. The ST3 (link), Ducati's original (some say best!) Sport-Touring motorcycle, is a gentleman's sport-touring motorcycle with a potent but very smooth 1000cc 3-valve Desmo engine and Ducati panniers. To make it even better, we have added a Fast by Ferracci Forza exhaust and an Ohlins adjustable shock. So now, the ST3 has plenty of torque, power, handling, and comfort to get you and a passenger where you want to be in typical Ducati style, whether on the highway or on a twisty mountain road!

COMING SOON! The new fantastic Monster 1200 and the amazing 899 Panigale! To stay tuned for future announcements; To get notified quickly, please add your email address to the right and LIKE our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/RentaDucati

We're expecing this amazing machine, the latest coming out of Borgo Panigale, perhaps as early as March, and will be running it out of our Los Angeles Pro Italia location. Keep your eyes pealed for intro details, and join our mailing list to the right to get release and promotional discount info. Stay tuned!


8/13/11 - New Bikes!!! (Multi 1200 ABS)
We hope everyone has been having a great summer! We just returned from Laguna Seca Moto GP slightly sunburned but had a great time. The highlight being the Ducati sponsored track walk led by Jason DiSalvo! Check out our Facebook page for photos.

We highlighted last month our new rental location at Pro Italia in Los Angeles. In addition to the new Diavel we also have a brand new 2011 Multistrada 1200 ABS (with bags) available to rent! If you haven't ridden this amazing bike, you are in for a big surprise because it is as comfortable as any touring bike, but corners like a sport bike. With 150 bhp on tap, and 4 engine-mapped riding modes (Urban, Enduro, Touring, and Sport), adjustable traction control, and full ABS, this bike really does cover new technological grounds. If you didn't catch the Ducati Experience Tour you now have both a Diavel and a Multistrada 1200 ABS available in Los Angeles to spend a whole day or a whole weekend riding. Or, grab one for a week if you really want to get away. Enjoy!


7/9/11 - New Los Angeles Location!!!
Pro Italia Motorcycles, in Glendale, CA, is RentaDucati.com's newest rental location. As many of you know, we have wanted to have a Los Angeles area location for a long time and we are very happy to finally have that with an organization that has a great reputation like Pro Italia.

Our website is updated and we are now taking reservations for the Diavel with the first rental date scheduled for next Friday, July 15th! So, if you took a test ride, but still aren't convinced, this is your chance to spend a whole day, or better yet a weekend on it so you can see just how good this bike really is! Oh, and it's still available for Moto GP weekend... Better grab it fast, cause it's gonna go fast now that we've announced it!


5/18/11 - Diavel !!! And other bikes.
RentaDucati.com is very pleased to announce that we have added the brand new Ducati Diavel to the stable! Here it is up at the Palomar Mountain General Store. Riding the Diavel is an initiation to the unexpected. The power is great and comes on smoothly, but strongly given the 162 bhp figure. What is entirely unexpected is how agile this bike really is and how composed even at significant lean angles. It goes, handles, is beautiful, and is a Ducati after all! And for all you lucky people reading this, it is available to rent!

Other bike news: we added another 848 Superbike to the line-up with carbon fiber Termi's, Ohlins TTX shock, Ohlins steering damper, smoked screen, and solo seat. Now, riders in Santa Barbara as well as San Diego have the opportunity to ride the amazing Ducati 848 Superbike (currently winning AMA & WSBK races regularly)! We also have an extended range tank on the Hypermotard, so perfect for the long road trip.


12/1/10 - NEW LOCATION in Santa Barbara
We are excited to announce that our second corporate location is up and running at Ducati of Santa Barbara (link) in Santa Barbara, CA! We have added a red Multistrada 1100S to our fleet and moved the Hypermotard 1100 to this location.

9/16/10 - SportBikeChic Review

She wrote a great review of the bike and location, make sure to check our her blog! And we look forward to having her come up and try Santa Barbara when we get that site up and running...


8/1/10 - MotoGP 2010
Ducati Island, sun, fast bikes, and unfortuantely only a second place poduim finish for Mr. Stoner. Well, it was still a great race and of course a great Ducati showing by all the fans. One of our founders, David, was there to take it all in and enjoy the weekend. Here is to hoping we have a guy on the top next year (perhaps Rossi?).


9/12/09 - 5 New Locations Added
Announcing the immediate availability of our full range of bikes at 5 new locations! You asked, we listened, so make sure to check them all out.

7/5/09 - 2009 MotoGP at Laguna Seca
Ducati had a strong showing at the 2009 MotoGP races at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, and we were happy to be there to watch! Check out our pictures of the Ducati Island, Casey Stoner, and Nickey Hayden here. Also, this marked the first anniversary of Rent a Ducati.com! That's right, a quick year has already gone by. Can't wait for next year, and hopefully this time with it a podium finish!


5/2/09 - Puma / Ducati Pictures
Puma recently came out with new bike shoes, and you know what that means... new advertising pictures! We were lucky enough to have one of our bikes featured in the shoot - see a few of their pictures here. Of course we don't recommend this type of riding, but it makes for great press shots!


12/11/08 - RiDE UK Magazine Review
RiDE UK Magazine published a special "fly-and-ride" story about their recent three day trip to San Diego riding our Monster 696 in their December'08 issue. They took some great shots of the deserts, mountains, and sea side - see a few of their pictures here. The story is great, but it may be a tough for most of us to check out since they are based in the United Kingdom! Maybe you can check them out at your nearest enthusiasts magazine store.


9/11/08 - Twisting Asphalt Review
We recently had the privilege of having Dylan Weiss from Twisting Asphalt ride with us over the September 6th weekend. Then he was gracious enough to write up a review of his experience on the 848 Superbike. Go check out the story, as well as his excellent SoCal Motorcycle blog! (link to story)


7/4/08 - Open For Business!
Rent a Ducati.com has launched and is open for business! Our first location is in San Diego, CA at GP Motorcycles and we are renting out an 848 Superbike, Hypermotard 1100, and Monster 696.
