Nuff said.

Don't Be a SQUIDIOT!
if you were made out of money you would be used lol
Brings a whole new meaning to "Selling your body".
That thing has been getting so many rave reviews because no one (except Ducati) is actually giving the road racer a bike that is so close to a MotoGP set up. If I had the scratch I would buy it to but probably wouldn't be able to do what it is built for. Would become a trophy piece. I'll take 5 Gixxers instead, and crash the shit out of them

If I listened correctly there should be one in the MRA for the '09 season...
Yes, a customer of mine is planning to race his 1098R in MRA (against a Desmo).Originally Posted by D Berns R6
Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

well then that makes two 1098R's because this guy is his own customer....and a fast one....
Ehhhh, it's OK.
Break-in continues. Race kit with traction control and full Termignoni installed in two weeks at the break-in service. 363lbs, 186HP. Never been on anything like it. Will see at Pueblo, High Plains when it opens, and in the nearby canyons. Maybe the Moco on occasion.
Great pix!
I agree, Ducati bikes are cool and have super performance. But, I think they are too much $$$ for what someone would actually do with it. I would take a nicely modded Japanese bike any day.

sfarson, were you in woodland park maybe a few days (week at most) ago?
Gorgeous bike! I am jealous.
Well, if I'm wishing I had extra money for a bike, I would wish for enough money to buy bikes like this. http://www.mvagustausa.com/web-mvagusta/07_F4_CC.html
awesome bike though
Sweet bike! I just dont think I could ever spend 120k on a bike.
If by chance you want to sell it in... oh.... February of 2010, please consider putting me at the top of your list.Ehhhh, it's OK.

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

Well, this thread has been around awhile. Can note the bike is a blast, on the road, on the track. Waaay more bike than me, but that's OK. In a way, what sportbike isn't.
Was passing through the PMP Buttonhook when this pic was taken from far away...
A big booming thing on the best of lonely roads as well...
Great pics! Are you going to ride Pueblo over Labor Day? I'd love to see your bike at the track, what an amazing machine. I heard Glaefke bought an R, maybe he'll be on it for the MRA races this weekend. There were quite a few ducs out on the 27th when we were down there, including Brian and Chad with an assortment of BMS bikes.
We're riding again Labor Day weekend, maybe we'll see you down there.
sfarson, where is that 2nd mountain pic taken? That is a gorgeous picture....and bike! Nice!
Procrastination pays off NOW!!!
lovin... No Labor Day weekend plans yet, though will have to consult with my bride. It's our wedding anniversary weekend.Great pics! Are you going to ride Pueblo over Labor Day?

'06sv... Thanks. It was from a road we're all familiar with... the Squaw Pass road on the way to Echo Lake...
It doesn't take long to be intimidated by the outrageous Desmosedici RR. If the stratospheric $72.5K price tag doesn't get you, the menacing mechanical cacophony upon start-up will. Observers are sucker-punched straight into the gut, and the beautiful racket portends an experience unlike any production streetbike in the world.
It's quite incredible that a manufacturer has offered such a repli-racer to the public. The D16RR is literally a MotoGP bike built for the street. And not those scrawny 800cc prototype racers currently on the grids – we're talking the big-gun near-liter-sized versions. As such, the RR carries a compact 989cc V-Four engine inside a version of Ducati’s trademark tubular-steel trellis frames.
The engine itself is a jewel. It features the same bore and stroke measurements (86.0mm x 42.56mm) as those on Ducati]s 2006 racebike, the D16GP6. It uses the "Twin-Pulse" firing order in which the crankpins are offset by 70 degrees (cylinders fire at 0°, 90°, 290° and 380°) to generate what Ducati terms as "soft pulse timing."
No soft pulses are felt from the D16's saddle – this thing snorts and sprints around a racetrack like a rampaging demon, as we found out during a few lapping sessions at Willow Springs Raceway.
