Get your Desmo before they're gone!!!

Only 8 Ducati Desmosedicis Left in the US

Finishing the end of a limited-production run of 1,500 motorcycles, only eight Ducati Desmosedici RR motorcycles remain in the United States as Pro Italia of Glendale, CA just took delivery of the last Desmo that will hit US shores from Bologna. The venerable GP replica that a common man can own made quite a stir when it was announced, and speculation has already begun about a successor for the RR. Will the next incarnation (if there is one) be an 800cc version? Or well Corsa Rosa wait for MotoGP’s switch back to 1000cc’s?
For those trying to get their hands on the last Desmosedici RR’s in the USA, you might want to try the following delearships.

Battley Cycles, Gaithersburg, MD
Gold Coast Motorsports, New Hyde Park, NY
Duc Pond Motorsports, Winchester, VA
Ducati de Puerto Rico, Carolina, PR • Giant Motorsports, Chicago, IL
TT Motorcycles, Clinton Township, MN
Southwest Motorrad, Kelowna, BC, Canada
Pro Italia, Glendale, CA

You know you love him.

LOL, the only good thing about him, he USED to be married to an Aussie.

Otherwise, ummmmm, I'll pass

 

[nimzotech]

I knew someone would bring that up. Here is your favorite pic of Tom - when he was young.

There you go IceMan.

Yeah, ok I am sad. I love Top Gun..... :Flash:

The Last Samurai was the only other good film of his - think he's a terrible actor though.

And don't get me started on the rest of his "nonsense".....

Oh, of course,

I FEEL THE NEED, THE NEED FOR SPEED....... lol

 

[lonesoldier84]

one day ill have one. no matter the cost.

 

[Goop]

My wallet is around here somewhere...

meh.... great performance at the cost of chunky looks.... I'll pass.

I think the 1098 is a better looking machine.

BUT... if I were looking for a unique ride, this would be it:

What if you could build a street-legal MotoGP replica so accurate that you actually had to build in some flaws so as not to make it too perfect? GP Motorsports has, witness the R1-M1's "R1" logo on the fairing and intentionally included filler panels below the tank. The rest? Yeah, we can't tell the difference either.

This 2008 M1-replica was built using a 2008 Yamaha R1. Retained is the frame and not much else. The engine is Superbike-spec, the forks are off Carlos Checa's 2003 GP bike, the shock an Öhlins TTX, the triple clamp is pinched from an R7. A custom exhaust from England's beguilingly talented Racefit and 16.5" carbon Dymags round out the package (carbon wheels are illegal in MotoGP).

The price for something this exotic? About $65,000 (sans the priceless forks) or $7,000 less than a Ducati Desmosedici. We think we'd rather have the R1-M1.

That is one sexy bike :thumbup:

 

[Wolfman]

I will pass on the Desmosedici...and stick with my mighty 1982 500 Pantah! Lol!

Seen a couple of these things around, and my god, they sound evil....noisy bloody engine though...the ol' Ducati, lets throw a bucket of bolts in the block thing...

Wouldnt quite sell my first born for one...but only just!

 

[Wh0M3]

I agree with Kazza about The Last Samurai otherwise I can't stand his movies. I don't care for any of his ex's movies either.

As for the bike it is sexy, but it's to shiny I'd be afraid of getting a scratch on that gloss paint job then it would be ruined. :BLAA:

 

[Hellgate]

There are two in Houston at Eximports, along with the new BMW, an MV Augusta F4 (or whatever it is), and a bunch of Aprilia RSV4s. I'll take the BMW or the Aprilia.

Haha! That shot was taken just a few miles from my house! Hey!! A real fighter pilot wouldn't do that with out his brain bucket!

The Duc is beautiful!!


Edit: Tom is riding a Kawasaki GPZ750R. He never road before this movie so had to learn and never stopped after that.

 

[ozzieboy]

How many you reckon you'll see hammering round a track on track day?...lol.

Rather get something I'm not afraid to ride like I stole:rockon:.
