Friz Doernberger can trace his affinity for the Ducati Silver Shotgun back to an early age. He developed his love of Italian machinery after going with his father to a race meet in his native Salzburg, Austria, in 1948. He was unimpressed with German and Austrian bikes, preferring the dashing style of Italian café racers.

“It had to be a sportbike,” he says, “to look and sound like a race bike.”
