Company History
Mototrans built Ducatis under license in Spain for decades, adapting engines and frames to local regulations and materials while preserving the essential character—desmodromic precision, lively handling, and elegant castings. The arrangement kept desirable models available during import restrictions and helped establish a Spanish service culture around Italian designs. Differences in castings and trim give Mototrans machines their own following today, with restorers valuing regional quirks alongside familiar Ducati dynamics. Historically, Mototrans demonstrates how licensed production can sustain a brand’s DNA across borders, building communities of riders and mechanics who keep the legend alive with local pride.
