Francesca was the moto that started all this Apogee Motoworks fever for Gustavo Penna—a cinematographer who shoots car commercials in Los Angeles. ( now..not so much ) enough talk in third person. I’m a Ducati fanatic who enjoys riding my Ducati to grab a Caffe Macchiato every morning, and whenever I can I go in Canyon carving mode in the beautiful california mountains and roads, Years ago after a track day I arrived home with my 749 and as usual removed the side fairings to give it a thorough clean, that day I decided to remove pretty much everything that was plastic or that was in need of a full polish by hand.... and then

BAMMM... I had a revelation: under the bodywork was a raw and even more beautiful machine. Pierre Terblanche had designed a machine in Bologna that the more naked it got the more it screamed “I’m a naked, high performance italian Beautiful monster.”

After Building 5 of those beauties for a very tight circle of friends and enthusiasts Apogee Motoworks was borne, we want to build the bike of the future a bike with the power of a 1200cc and the weight of a 500cc, we know that lightness is the secret and our goal was and now will always be to explore the creative possibilities within the vibrant world of the

most Iconic and unique Italian Moto, a Moto that caters for those that like me, appreciate the beautiful things in life. An Apogee Moto is a bike that amplifies the mechanical beauty of a Ducati and that packages only handmade Bespoke -Pristine- Proprietary components in a striking thoughtfully designed full package that is not only an amazing visual drama that gets our motos and riders ears filled with... “Wow’s”, but a Bespoke moto that is guided primarily by our golden rule which is { FORM = FUNCTION }.
