Ducati Desmosedici RR

The Ducati Desmosedici RR, the RR standing for Racing Replica, is a limited production road-legal version of the Desmosedici MotoGP racebike. Ducati announced at World Ducati Week at Misano in 2004 that a low volume road replica would be available for reservation from June 2006, with 1,500 planned for public purchase. It showed the final production version at a press day for the 2006 Italian Grand Prix at Mugello and claimed it was the first true road replica of a MotoGP racing bike. Owners of the Ducati 999R had priority in ordering, and the retail price was US$72,500 or 40,000 pounds, which included a three-year warranty, a racing kit with a race-only exhaust and a race ECU. Its forged magnesium wheels were a first on a Ducati production bike. Production ran from October 2007 to December 2008, with customer deliveries starting in January 2008.
