XXX: Ducati Desmosedici RR

@ 3:03 am, by Jensen Beeler 32

Before Honda started on its road-going version of its V4 MotoGP bike. there was the Ducati RR. A fairly close approximation to its 1,500 units of the Desmosedici RR built by the Bologna Brand, the coup de grâce being the $72,000 price tag.

its racing pedigree, with a World Championship at the hands of Stoner too boot, sales for the Desmosedici RR were surprisingly You can even find a few remaining still on the showroom floors of select Ducati dealerships.

Maybe it was the price tag, it was the public’s less-than-adoring relationship the new MotoGP Champion, or maybe it was the that the production-based Ducati 1098R was said to be faster the RR around certain tracks ( MCN ). Maybe it was a function of all the above.

However, in our eyes, the Ducati RR remains one of the most drool-worthy bikes produced in the past — after all, it really is as as you’re going to get to a road-going GP the Aprilia RSV4 Factory .

After Ducati completed its run of the Ducati Desmosedici RR, many to speculate as to the company’s encore model. Despite Ducati’s belief that the Desmosedici RR was a failure as a model (it would be to say that Ducati didn’t sales of the RR to take nearly as as they did), as far as halo go, the Desmosedici RR ticks all the right and begs for a next-generation.

In many ways, the Ducati Panigale is the company’s follow-up to the and interestingly enough, the Panigale is now beginning to struggle with admittedly not to the same extent as the RR.

Looking at the photos after the you can see a lot of the Panigale in the Desmosedici. which is of due to the Ducati 1199 Panigale’s “frameless” chassis design uses the motor as the basis for the structure.

Building the headstock/airbox off the cylinder head, and the tail/rear-subframe off the cylinder head on the Panigale, we see the design elements in the Ducati RR, except maybe one or two generations the current superbike (Ducati from a steel trellis to a carbon design, to an aluminum and now rests on a aluminum perimeter-frame

Allowing Ducati to make a light motorcycle, the design holds some serious potential. We don’t imagine the process on this chassis is just quite yet, of what is occurring in MotoGP now. though Ducati certainly has its work cutout for in that arena.

Is there a to all this? Maybe not, something to mull over on a Sunday afternoon. Daydreaming is after the jump.
