Ducati Desmosedici: First Ride
Seyth Miersma
First ride of the all new, all conquering Ducati Desmosedici
here, from the good people at Motorcycle USA. A MotoGP-based Italian superbike for
the street sounds pretty good to us, if absurdly scary at the same time.

And the price?
If you have to ask.... :)

191 mph...my goodness. I haven't been to a newsstand in such awhile, and I've been avoiding motoring with my focus on school. The Desmo is ahead of me...like a Scuderia that's always "on."
That $249 a mo. 1098 ad is hard to ignore. So's the Desmo RR's reported price of $80K...is that right?

I heard it was $72k. But what's $8k between friends? Also, I noticed a 1/4 mile trap speed of 153 mph!!!!! Wow!

Even scarier: 0-60 in just over 2 sec.

That bike must have some hellacious off the line grip!!
