Don't know wht it is other than a Ducati, i can see an 'S' after the description and remember reading about something similar.

But, it's stunning.

Go on, enlighten me, what is it, why is it special and how much would it cost me today.... I REALLY like the look of that.

I've seen 2 of them already, one at paignton bike night, and one up at westbay, could of been the same one who knows.
IMO nothing special.

This is akin to questioning a bunch of mathematicians what pi is. You're on a forum full of bikers asking if they know what a Desmosedici is? The ones on here who don't already know more than likely won't even care...

I took this back when these were brand new....

An ugly lump of Italian plastic makes a rather refreshing change from an ugly lump of Japanese plastic imo.

Where's the road-legal moto gp bike?

Road legal WSB level bike, maybe but still not up to that level I believe; power is claimed at the crank I think, while you'd get the same real power from last's year's BSB bike bought for £15k or so, less weight and the chance to make it a hell of a lot lighter with the £20k you've got left over.

You could get a dozen shit-hot bikes for that money, and have change for a slap-up tea!! Confused Hand

Ps. Do they come in any other colours?... Wink
