DUCATI DESMOSEDICI RR: THE ULTIMATE DUCATI EXPERIENCE The dream of a true GP replica has finally come true and the Desmosedici RR is the first-ever road-going motorcycle to offer such a stunning wealth of performance and technology that comes directly from Ducati's experience in MotoGP. The RR derives from the Ducati Corse Grand Prix racing Desmosedici GP6, the same bike with which Loris Capirossi and Sete Gibernau competed with in the 2006 MotoGP World Championship. The body design and the aerodynamics faithfully reflect the Desmosedici GP6. The color scheme, the fittings, the materials used in its construction as well as the technical features of the powerful four-cylinder desmodromic engine built by the Borgo Panigale factory engineers, leave no doubts whatsoever: the Desmosedici RR is the ultimate expression of the most extreme MotoGP racing machine today.

 

Reservations for the Desmosedici RR have been accepted via the official Ducati dealer network since June 2, 2006. Ducati North America will not be providing Recall Compliance letters to Canadian customers purchasing a Desmosedici RR in the United States as well as Americans who purchase a Desmosedici RR in Canada. Production of the 1,500 limited edition motorcycles will begin in October, 2007 and first deliveries will be made to 999R owners who placed their Desmosedici RR order before September 30, 2006. Production of all remaining orders will be completed by December 2008.

 

VEHICLE DETAILS The engine clearly represents the beating heart of this fantastic motorcycle, but the technological advancements also extend to the chassis: a signature tubular trellis hybrid frame, refined components, and a superb carbon fibre body.

ENGINE DETAILS With a power output of 200 HP at 13,800 rpm and 85.55 lb-ft of torque at 10,500 rpm, the new D16RR engine follows the guidelines laid down by the Ducati Corse GP engine, a masterpiece of engineering and precision.

 

The Motorcycle Bloggers International (MBI), the international association of motorcycle bloggers, has awarded the Ducati Desmosedici RR the “Best Concept Motorcycle” of 2006 and “Object of Lust”, making this bike known as the most desired bike of all time. These awards add to the long list of honors for this model, confirming the great success of Ducati’s “new creature.”
