Re: Wish I Was Made Out Of Money!
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

Re: Wish I Was Made Out Of Money!

Re: Wish I Was Made Out Of Money!
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. ![]()

Re: Wish I Was Made Out Of Money!
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.

Re: Wish I Was Made Out Of Money!
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

Re: Wish I Was Made Out Of Money!
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...

Re: Wish I Was Made Out Of Money!
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. ![]() |

Re: Wish I Was Made Out Of Money!
![]() 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.
