2006 Ducati Desmosedici RR Photo Gallery

The Ducati Desmosedici RR production prototype is launched at Mugello on the eve of the Italian Grand Prix. Available from July 2007, this first true MotoGP replica motorcycle can already be reserved from the official Ducati dealer network.

The Ducati Desmosedici RR features advanced technology and aerodynamics that are derived from the GP6 currently being raced in the 2006 MotoGP World Championship.

The engine clearly represents the beating heart of this fantastic motorcycle, but the technological advancements also extend to the chassis: a signature tubular trellis hybrid frame, refined components, and a superb carbon fibre body.

The dream of a true GP replica has finally come true and the Desmosedici RR will be the first-ever road-going motorcycle to offer such a stunning wealth of performance and technology that comes directly from Ducati’s experience in MotoGP.

The bike is totally inspired by the racing machine, the Ducati Desmosedici GP6, from which it inherits all the aggressiveness of its lines.

The RR looks an awful lot like the MotoGP machine it is made to replicate. Comprised of top-shelf componentry the RR should spit out a mind-blowing 180 ponies at the rear wheel.

All the major players for Ducati where in attendance for the unveiling of the Desmosedici RR, a production streetbike which mimics the machine utilized by Loris Capirossi and Sete Gibernau in the MotoGP series.
