Honda and Ducati are the big names in the news this week.
I write motorcycle news over at Web Bike World every weekday. At the end of the week, I like to round up the news stories I think are the most important over here.
Here are the three stories I think you need to know about.

The well-known American racer tragically perished. Now Ducati has a Panigale V4 Nicky Hayden Tribute bike. It went up for auction and the proceeds will go to Hayden’s memorial foundation.
