Desmosedici RR
 

The announcement on Ducati.com is for a desmosedici RR available within 2 years.

tee hee, 999R owners will get first choice on availability!!!!!

Nah ... you won't be able to afford one :oink:

Another conspiracy that favours the rich...

Come the revolution mate :rodent:

pointless announcement ....

what they really mean is "if enough gullible fashion victims order one so they have the latest & greatest, they'll build it ..."

what rubbish, we are Ducati owners, not Yamakawasukionda riders ...

stinks of customer exploitation ...

bog off Ducati .. thats all I have left to say ....

:mad:

... quiet month mate ?

Thank goodness the new board has a 'smug' smiley :smug::smug::smug:

Potential owners will probably need an inexhaustable supply, better stock up webteam

Oh dear, that throws the cat amongst the pigeons ...

Should I keep the 996 and buy the Paul Smart as planned, buy a Multistrada to sit alongside the 996 ... part-ex the 996 for an 'R' .... just keep the 996 unti lthe release of the Desmosedici RR??

Hrmmm .... (the wife is looking over my shoulder with interest)

TP

Dibble - that came from the heart a bit!!

Realistically speaking £35k is a but much.

Thank god they\'re cheap then....
 

.....I'll take two!!!

Tim:frog:

Euros, 50000 euros... thats only the bonus on 500,000 speeders......


Does this mean it will qualify for the WSB, if its still around then?:smug:

....and if they're flogging them in the Corse shop tim, you could probably blag a third one free!

yep, I could flog the extra one on ebay - but everyone would think its a scam!!!

Look you lot!!!!
SHUT UP!

Some people can only dream...:(:(:(

Damn ... Damn ... Damn ...

Didn't win the lottery tonight.

How many weeks left until orders are taken? I might have to play more tickets.... :D

Hmm £35k limited production thats sounds a bit elitist to me :P

it is not elitest, - it is way for Ducati to make sure they contine to win at WSBK.

Now if my mrs would just get the lotery sorted out, instead of having the numbers she used the week before come up a week later, - it was only a £800k win so at least it was n't that big a win eh? eh? eh? :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

35k for a bike?whats the farking point?

The same point as that of supercars - there is none :)

Not much point in a McLaren F1 roadcar, or a 360, etc etc.


EG a well sorted Skyline will absolutely dump on a standard 360 costing 30-40K more

If you can get ridiculously overpriced cars why shouldn't us bike riders have the same opportunities?


It will be a bloody awesome bike, it will probably better than a factory racer costing 50K+ currently....

Forget selling grandma - the whole family are going on Ebay tomorrow :lol:

Someone refreash my memory how much were Honda NR750s and how many did they sell, similar type of thing very pricey and very exclusive.

Yeah but a Nippo car make could never get away with charging 60+ large for a car, same with 35K for a bike :lol:

back on track, i reckon i might get a decent trade in!:eureka::D:frog:

They were £37k new, maybe more than that now :-)
I wonder too how many were sold. Three, maybe? ;)

BIG ANNONCEMENT ON HERE, HYPE AT WDW.

The start the ball rolling, awards etc for various reasons. Roll out the racers, wow what a greeting Chilli got and the GP boyz....

Then the big announcement........... place goes dark, fitting sound track from space odyssey plays, smoke pours from the stage, crowd start cheering, music gets louder, more smoke, then something appears to rise from the stage, crowd go even more mad, the smoke lightens, you can begin to see what has been the hype from ducati for 2+ weeks.........

A FRIGGIN ENGINE!! NO BIKE!! :flame::flame::flame::flame:

I got the daggers from the other half, cos we waited on for 2 hours to see an engine :flame: , :lol: Cost me a large dinner in Rimini!

Was the major anti climax of 2004 so far. :flame:

As Dibble said, got to agree.

Nice weather mind

Mark wot a bummer.......Been waiting for you to post some pics:(:(:(:....... If im not in when you pop over could you leave the swingarm round the back !!!( :roll::roll:

With allowance for inflation that would easily be £50K by todays standards, makes the proposed new Ducati look cheap in comparison.
Don't suppose there is any chance that V4 engine would fit in my 916 chassis.

Rtlr,

You won't get the two you want i'm afraid old chap.
I have just despatched a flunky to the factory to buy every one they make, gonna have a few mates round for our own one make race series!!

Another flunky is on his way to see the FIM to buy the rights to the WSB title. Whoever wins our little for fun only series can then call themselves WSB champion!!

I suppose I could send all the bikes round to your place when we have finished with them, at your convenience of course!!

Must go the Times has just been ironed ready for me to read!!

Ray.

I think I have had a little too much sun this weekend!! time for a lie down!!

Don't worry boys, there'll be a proper production version along soon enough (maybe).:lol:

Dave,

I would have, had it been worth it. I took nearly 100 odd pictures over the weekend, take a while to crop, re-size then post. :)

I'll ring you either tonight or tomorrow, only had 3 hours kip.

OK who is it,

I was collecting my bike from Cobb & Jagger yesterday after the second service and Glen advised that he has already taken a £ 3,500 deposit on a V4 balance payable in 2006!

Rob

:smug::smug::smug::smug::smug::smug::smug::smug::s mug:

...No, it's not me! I'm just testing the board to see if it still has a supply of 'smug' smileys left.

Desmosedici owners around here are gonna need them.

Got this email this morning....

Dear readers
As you may have already heard, Ducati recently announced they're going to build a V4 bike for the road. It will be an adaptation of their current GP bikes (ridden by Bayliss and Capirossi), will be a limited edition, not available until 2006 and will cost around £35,000!

Basically, it will be legendary and highly, highly desirable. Ducati have never, ever made a four cylinder road bike so, in the world of motorcycling, it's pretty big news.

I'm due to interview a couple of the bikes' designers tomorrow and would be interested to know what YOU would like to know about this new bike. So, if there's anything you'd like me to fire at them, please email me back asap and I'll see if I can get some answers for you.

To see the finished article, don't forget to get the August issue of RiDE, on sale 15th July.
Hope to hear from you soon
Liisa

PS: This email has been sent to multiple recipients. If you wish to be removed from our mailing list or want your details updated, please let me know and I'll sort it out for you asap. Please remember to include the old address so I can find you!

PPS: Forgive me if you respond and don't hear further from me. I don't mean to be rude but sometimes there just isn't time to get back to everyone.

Robo,

My shilling would be on a bike mad footballer in the area.

998r > 999r > Desmosedici RR

Ray

...........or how about a football mad biker?

:smug::smug::smug::smug::smug::smug::smug:

I heard the Bike Mad Footballer wasn't allowed to ride bikes due to a clause in his contract?

Rob

Robo,

U2U'd the story that did the rounds up here!

Ray

Well thats no good to the rest of us - come on, please share.

To cut a long story short he took no notice when he was told by the manager at the time that if he rode the bike again he wouldn't play for the club again.

Liked riding bike more than playing premiership football?, the latter avenue of pleasure is now closed off to all the players now!!

Ray.
