Ducati has teamed up with Warner Bros. Consumer Products to produce a limited edition Ducati 998 and Ducati Monster 620, each inspired by the Matrix trilogy. The motorcycles will be available at Ducati Stores and other Ducati dealerships around the world.

These extraordinary limited edition motorcycles were conceived following the release of The Matrix Reloaded TM, the second chapter of the Wachowski Brothers' rEVOlutionary cinematic trilogy, which features a dramatic road chase on a Ducati Superbike.
