Ducati has created some masterpieces throughout its recent history, and today we will tell you about a MotoGP designed for the road.
The brand Ducati has become the absolute point of reference in MotoGP, where he has won the last four constructors’ world championships, and the last two among riders with Pecco Bagnaia. The Borgo Panigale manufacturer debuted in the top class in 2003, and had to wait until 2007 to win his first title with Casey Stonermore than anything, thanks to the amazing talent of the Australian, the only one capable of making the Desmosedici truly competitive.
Well, in 2007 Ducati decided to launch it on the market a road MotoGP, namely the splendid Desmosedici RR, Its project was announced already in the spring of 2004, but it took almost three years to see it fully on the market, with the presentation taking place at the 2006 Italian Grand Prix, at Mugello. It was based on the official race bike and the test rider took care of its development Vittoriano Guareschiwho at the time was a tester and also team manager of the Borgo Panigale company.
Ducati, here is the value of the Desmosedici RR
There Ducati Desmosedici RR was certainly not a normal motorcycle, as demonstrated by the price, equal to 60,000 euros, with just 400 examples being produced. Its construction began in 2007 and ended in 2010. What drove it, as on the MotoGP racing version, was a 989 cc V4 engine, with titanium connecting rods and valves, capable of guaranteeing track performance.
Indeed, the power was 200 horsepower, with the peak being reached at 13,800 rpm, with the chassis that was created around the engine, which performed the load-bearing function. It was combined with a steel trellis and an aluminum plate machined from solid material. In terms of top speed, it obviously broke the 300 km/h barrier, a beast that everyone wanted, but which as you will have understood, few could afford.
Nowadays, despite almost twenty years having passed since its launch, this motorbike is still much loved and sought after by collectors. On the website “Dueruote.it“, it has been announced that a special version of this Ducati Desmosedici RR is on sale for 97,500 EUR. Why did we call it special? The reason is linked to a particular control unit, which brings the maximum power even higher, reaching the threshold of 215 horsepower. The racing car will entertain you.
