Now even if I had £35,000 to spend on a bike why would I get one that's nearly as ugly as my ST and according to Claudio Domenicali (spelling?) will need a huge amount of fettling.

200+ Bhp is pretty stupid as well. Be honest! None of us could use that type of power on the road, or on the track...if you reckon you can handle it you stand a pretty good chance of getting a Desmosedici ride for free because you're probably a WSB god already.

So, IMHO the Desmosedici is destined to be a rich poseurs plaything, either standing in a glass case in somebody's living room, unridden since new. Or it might occasionally see dry roads or track and have chicken strips a mile wide because no-one wants to bin a £35K collectors item bike. There may be one or two bikes who's owners ride them anywhere near the bikes potential but I doubt it.
