Ducati Desmosedici RR (2006)

The ultimate expression of Ducati’s technological prowess has finally arrived. The Ducati Desmosedici RR is a road-going replica of the GP6 bike that Loris Capirossi and Sete Gibernau rode to fame in the 2006 MotoGP World Championship.

Its four-stroke, “L”-four cylinder engine, boasting 4 valves per cylinder and gear-driven camshafts, unleashes a torrent of power, evoking the raw emotion of racing. The riding experience is nothing short of exhilarating, with its razor-sharp handling and pinpoint accuracy that defies all expectations.

The Desmosedici RR is not just a bike – it’s an immersive, visceral experience that puts you at one with the machine. Its aerodynamics are honed to perfection, its body design a faithful replica of the GP6, and its materials and craftsmanship on par with the finest racing machinery.

Production will begin in October 2007, with first deliveries reserved for those who have placed their orders before September 30th.
