For Sale: Ducati Superbike Desmosedici D16 RR with factory warranty!
Pity the rich guys. They just don’t seem to ride as much as the more common folk. Take for example this wonderful Ducati Desmosedici: When new it retailed for more than $72,000 US dollars – yet it has less than 1,000 miles on the clock. Search for a similar vintage Gixxer or R1, and you will find many examples – all with many more miles. Still, one man’s loss is another man’s gain…and whomever gains this bike will be one lucky man indeed!
When released to the world, this bike was not so much “MotoGP inspired” as MotoGP itself. Bristling with racing technology (v4, 16 valves with demodronic valve action, fuel injection with computerized traction control and nearly 200 horsepower) the D16 RR was very fast, very composed, and very exclusive. The initial run of 500 units allocated to the US was allegedly sold out within 5 hours of going on sale. The total run of 1,500 units world wide was completed and all bikes delivered before the end of 2008.
The bike in question is a 2008 model that still has a factory warranty in place until 5/31/2011. The color scheme is known as the “Team Version:” Rosso GP with broad white fairing stripe. The build number is 375 of 1,500, and there are only 911 claimed miles on the odometer.

The dream of a true GP replica has finally come true and the Desmosedici RR is the first-ever road-going motorcycle to offer such a stunning wealth of performance and technology that comes directly from Ducati’s experience in MotoGP. The RR derives from the Ducati Corse Grand Prix racing Desmosedici GP6, the same bike with which Loris Capirossi and Sete Gibernau competed with in the 2006 MotoGP World Championship.
The body design and the aerodynamics faithfully reflect the Desmosedici GP6. The color scheme, the fittings, the materials used in its construction as well as the technical features of the powerful four-cylinder desmodromic engine built by the Borgo Panigale factory engineers, leave no doubts whatsoever: the Desmosedici RR is the ultimate expression of the most extreme MotoGP racing machine today.Adult owned and ridden.
