Ducati opens in Pune

Ducati motorcycles are now officially available in Pune with the opening of their first city showroom at 1, Boat Club road. The 4500 sqft facility has much of the India range on display, as well as an attached service facility. The dealership is run by the Bavaria Motors group, who also maintain a BMW dealership in Pune.

Vishal Agarwal, Managing Director, Bavaria Motors said “We are delighted to partner with Ducati and bring the iconic brand to a region so passionate about motorcycles. Even before we started operations we have been overwhelmed with inquiries. With our experience in successfully working with premium clients in the luxury automobile sector, we will provide an unparalleled level of customer experience and service to the growing community of Ducatisti in Pune.”

Previously, prospective Ducati customers had to buy their bikes from Mumbai, which was the closest dealership in the region. With the opening of a local sales and service location, ownership and maintenance of Ducatis is set to get much easier for Punekars. There are already several Ducati customers in Pune, so the Pune dealer kicks off with an existing customer base. Prices of the Ducati range of motorcycles start at Rs 6,83,000 ex-showroom and are available for test rides.
