Cobb and Jagger Ducati (now trading as Ducati Leeds, since the launch of Ducati's Store concept) first opened it's doors to the motorcycling public all the way back in the year 2000.
Cobb and Jagger motorcycles had been going ever since 1977, when friends and fellow bike enthusiasts, Charlie Jagger and Lee Cobb started their business journey with a small shop on Poplar road. From humble beginnings Cobb and Jagger grew over the years with two main lines of focus, Off-Road Competition machines and of course - Italian Motorcycles.
We sold machines from a host of Italian brands, from old favourites to the truly exotic, but would have to wait patiently for 23 long years to get the best - Ducati.
Over our 25 years of partnership with this most Iconic brand we have seen the Ducati range go from strength to strength.
In our early days the 998 and 748 enjoyed a fantastic following, basking in the reflected glory of World Superbike success.
The Superbike range was and still is ever evolving and relatively soon into our Ducati journey it was joined by the Moto GP inspired Desmosedici, one of many incredible sports machines Borgo Panigale is rightly synonymous with.
Another step forward to 2010 and the Multistrada family came of age with the transformative Multistrada 1200. An immediate success with press and public, this brought Ducati performance, handling and style to this growing sector and it has been our best selling Ducati ever since.
We are proud to maintain our position as the biggest retailer of this landmark model in the UK with the V4 and V2 Multistrada range.

From our stunning new store we have enjoyed great success, and despite all the challenges (not to mention the pandemic) we go into our 25th year with this iconic brand off the back of one of our strongest years ever - finishing 2024 as the highest performing Ducati dealer in the UK.

This most recent achievement is in no small part thanks to our fantastic team, which boasts combined centuries of experience in the motorcycle industry.
However most of all we would like to offer our thanks to our loyal customers and friends. None of what makes Cobb and Jagger would be possible without your continued support, passion and love for the best motorcycling has to offer.
