Termed the Desmosedici RR (Racing Replica), it was claimed to be the first true road replica of a MotoGP racing bike. Priority for ordering was given to Ducati 999R owners, with production projected at one bike per day at a retail cost of $65,000. The price includes a three year warranty and servicing, cover plus a racing kit including an exhaust and an improved electronic control chip. Production is limited to 400 motorcycles per year.
This does make it the most powerful stock (and theoretically street legal) motorcycle sold in the world today.
The bike was eventually launched at the 2006 Italian MotoGP event at Mugello, with delivery from Spring 2007. The entire allocation for the United States of America sold out in 5 hours. [2]
