Dealership name: MotoCorsa | Address: 2170 NW Wilson Street, Portland, OR 97210 Hours: 10am-6pm, Tuesday Saturday | Year established: 2000 Brands sold: Aprilia, Ducati and MV Agusta In June of 2009, MotoCorsa sold 61 Ducati Motorcycles. By doing so, they set the world record for the highest number of new Ducati’s sold in one month. With a dealership mission to be the best Ducati Experience in the world, the staff put in the work to make it a reality. MotoCorsa is a destination dealership.

Continuing on, you will see a meticulous showroom, the most desired parts, apparel and accessories and the service department. Often, a dealership on this level can fall prey to the “museum” effect. You know, look but don’t touch... in fact don’t even look that hard. You’re better off just “glancing”.
