From India to Italy. Two Multistradas. One shared passion.
Dr. Ashutosh H. Palep and Fredoon R. Kapadia have entered the India Book of Records for the "Fastest Motorcycle Expedition from India to Italy by a Duo," completing 13,421 km in 33 days.
Setting off from Gorakhpur on May 27, 2026, the duo rode their Ducati Multistrada 1260 S and Multistrada 1200 S through Nepal, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Slovenia before arriving in Italy on June 29, 2026, crossing borders, diverse terrains and cultures along the way.
A fitting chapter in a journey that celebrated 100 years of Ducati through endurance, adventure, and a shared passion for riding.
Congratulations, Dr. Ashutosh H. Palep and Fredoon R. Kapadia, on this remarkable achievement. We thank you for your passion.
🇮🇳❤️🇮🇹
