citação:The RR is a road-going version of Ducati's MotoGP racer and is the first of a new breed of extreme race-replica motorcycles.
Much of the road bike's technology comes directly from the 2006 GP racer ridden by Loris Capirossi and Sete Gibernau.
A 989cc V-four engine nestles behind the bodywork and pumps out 'more than 200bhp' according to Ducati sources if you opt for the race-spec exhaust.
Lightweight materials are used throughout the bike's construction and even the exhaust exits through slits in the tail unit for better aerodynamics.
Up front, the brake discs are the same ones as used by the MotoGP race bikes in wet conditions - the carbon fibre ones normally used would not get hot enough in normal road riding conditions. As for colours, it's whatever you want so long as it's red and white.
There is some choice as you can opt for solid red bodywork with a white tail unit, or red with a white stripe as per the factory racers. This last is the one for us.
Ducati says it will only build 400 Desmosedici RRs per year and the price is £37,500 in the UK, with existing Ducati 999R customers enjoying preferential treatment.
