Default Ducati Desmo Sedici

Anyone hear anything about this bike? Apparently it will have 215 hp and you have to have owned a 999R to even be considered to be eligible to buy one. How much you ask? $65,000!!!!

If anyone has anymore info, share it. I havent been able to find much.

From what I understand it is essentially a Moto GP bike just a little detuned for the street and I think the majority of it is carbon fiber, so it shouldnt weigh too much. Ducatis are sexy bikes, i want a 749R in black.

^^^ actually that desmosedici it`s derived directly from the bike of Loris Capirossi .

215 hp :shock: :shock:
This will make the 999 R look like underpowered :roll:

215hp is going to be a bit of a handful IMHO.

Even so, I'd still like a go on one

^^^ could be dangerous to have a ride on one , because after that i think you`re next stop will be a bank , to make a loan and quite a big one.



Definetly this will be the Enzo of superbikes :shock:
