  • ooohhhhh yeaaahhhh love that Bike i want one maybe i write a really nice later way ahead of time to Santa he will bring me one for Xmas ooooohhhhhh please!!!!

  • How much Hp does it have

  • @falloutcool over 9000!

  • @nepalihercules It was a simple question you don't have to be an ass about it

  • @falloutcool 200hp

  • I can't wait to get one!

  • this bike gave me an erection...................

  • the bike you hear going past is the actual gp bike not the bike they are reviewing lol

  • What's the music? Anyone know? I rather like it.

  • As perfect as this is, it makes the Aprilia RSV4 Factory SE look like a bargain at US$20,000. Just need to buy carbon wheels and you've got something that is 90 percent there + some cool safety features for far less money.

  • How much is one of these

  • @lilmoneymike94 about 60000 €

  • Sounds like an Aprilia RSV4

  • am willing to swap......wife for desmo!! (she cleans and cooks) Free shipping!!

  • gay music... ha ha ha, very funny

  • Been in love with this bike for 2 years now n I want one!

  • This is the fastest street legal bike ever made, by the way is 8 SECONDS a lap slower than a motogp on the track!! that gives you the idea of how fuckin fast are motogps!!!

  • @iFrenky Whit the same tyre of motogp this time would be 3 /4 seconds down

  • ill take instant orgasm for 200 please 

  • i would ride it everyday then put it in my living room!

  • why is there a 17' in the front and 16' in the back?

    do you have to replace the gas canasters for the shocks?

    why do the clutch and brake levers lift up?

    does the brake adjustment nob on the left is twisted? or squeezed?

  • how mane cc is the bike?

  • 989

  • He said 989 but I thought it was a 799? what is the limit for motogp?

  • r1 has better roll on power than a desmo

  • be nice to see one vs an S1000RR.

  • Gleich hast du.

    Und desmo kaufen fur 65.000 und du bist das geschaft aus und WHAAA 30.000 nur wert.

    Vor du das motorrad uberhaubt zuhause hast :D

  • and 200 HP at the crank is not 200 HP at the rear wheel. Thats why I have seen these bikes dynoed at 185-190 RWHP. Only slightly more powerful than a 1198R.

  • what could you do to a 1198 to improve torque and hp?

    is the gear ratio different in the D16?

  • Ducati Desmosedici RR VS R1 MCN i no what i got my money on

  • Da kauf ich mir lieber noch ein kleines Häuschen!

  • its not about the speed or ripping throught the track with ducatis bikes. Its the experience and the elegance.

  • Oh shut up you soft twat. They are bikes and they are meant to be thrashed.

  • hmm, oh okay, so if u had a 70k motorcycle, you would rip it through the track? I would still track it but not hard. Too beautiful to crash or ruin.

  • If you had 70k in the first place you would not buy the bike unless you had shit loads more money to maintain it so I guess you would have to think of 70k to be pocket money and not care if you crashed it to own one of these.

    I personally would not buy one, would buy a couple of zx10's and set them up to be full race bikes. Quick as!

  • i know a guy on a forum who tipped it over in his garage and cost a total of 25k to repair it. Not cheap. imagine dropping it ona track...not fun. just like u, i would rather buy a bunch of 600 supersports and track them up.

  • if u think thats true u r retard!

    it costs 40000 pound fairing wouldnt cost that maybe motogp bu no this sorry to say its no that delicate

  • The Desmosedici is the closest thing to a motogp bike. It just has turn signals and mirrors to make it street legal. And speak some English (no pun intended).

  • ok suck my balls i dont care its only utube

  • you like to critisize everyone don't you? your so fuckin gay. do you go out to eat on your bike in all your proper gear like your dreaming about being rossi? what a fag. i would slap you in the mouth if i saw your bitch ass

  • @yoGOES How am i criticizing you? You are Such an uptight person. I'm giving you some friendly constructive advice that might save your life someday down the road. And yes when i go anywhere, even a mile down the road, i throw my gear on...(had to many close calls in the neighborhood) and when i go out for joy rides i wear, Full leathers, boots, gloves. MY gf even has gear so when she wants to go out riding.. Its all about safety dude. You don't have a cage. I was once just like you, a squid.

  • are there any other Ducati's that are 4 cylinders?

    How could you upgrade a 1198S to be track worthy?

    I have heard a 1098 with no cats and straigh pipes, is that bad for the engine? It didn't sound as mean as a D16 but did sound nice

  • @yoGOES the 1198s is already track worthy. throw some slicks and tune the suspension for the track... done.

  • yea I know its worthy but how could you improve the torque and hp?

  • @yoGOES

    WHOAA!! it already has a shit loads of torque. Its a twin 1198 cc... Trust me man, not many people can ride 1000cc to their potentials except for profesionals... hell not many people can pilot 600cc's to its potential.

  • exactly why more hp and torque would help a non proffessional out. I found out the answer thanks though.

  • @yoGOES

    no it wouldn't. More hp and tq would mean u will kill yourself faster.. Do u own a motorcyle? have u ever ridden an SS... are u a starter? if u answer no no and yes... then any SS above 600, u should be staying away from..

  • I asked how you could improve hp and torque not play dad, you fuckin lame fagget. dont worry about what ill do i can afford it.

  • @yoGOES

    If u can't ride it at what it makes now, what makes u think u could handle more power..? Doesn't make any sense. Not trying to be mean to you, but if u don't know how to ride An SS then don't get one. start on something smaller and work your way up.. motorcycles aren't things u want to toy around with...

  • for most uncordinated adults yes you are right. but thanks for answering my questions, NOOOOT!, very nice. what racing league do you race in? what size engine?

  • @yoGOES

    I don't race... i track my bike, NESBA. What race league are u in? Because if u were in one, then u wouldn't ask such stupid questions...

  • D16 is not a V-Twin 1198.

  • @pinespeakz

    i didn't say it was.

  • I own a 2008 1098 and yes it comes from factory with cats. D16 has a completely diffrent engine its design is based off of a V4.

  • yea they have to pass emissions, but they always say D16 has race kit and race exhaust does that mean it's straight pipes or cats with straight pipes after?

  • Full straight pipes no cats. D16s Race ECU DTC works by cutting spark to reduce power causing unburnt fuel to enter the cats. In turn this would damage the catalytic converters.

  • what is ECU?

    What is DTC?

    why would they reduce power?

    is there any backfire problems without the cats?

    this is a 4stroke 4 cylinder not a 2 stroke correct?

  • ECU stands for Engine Control Unit this computer is incharge of Fuel Injection and Ignition timing.

    DTC is Ducati Traction Control this bike comes with first gen DTC which works by cutting spark from engine to reduce power output when the ECU detects rear wheel spin.

  • Backfire is the incorrect term backfire happens when intake charge ignites in the intake manifold. In this case you would be talking about afterfire. Yes this bike will afterfire when DTC turns on because basicly unburnt fuel is being dumped into the hot exhaust manifold. Not really a problem on a race bike which this bike is centered upon.

  • @CHOPERUS23 They are! not pampered

  • In Australian dollars, its $105,000. Twice the price of a Ducati 1198R, but 1 is a Superbike and 1 is a work of art and like all works of art, they constantly increase in value. Fuck it, i'm getting 1. Bargain!!

  • Damn, i want 1. Are these still available or did they all sell out? I know what they're worth but i don't care cos i can afford it. I just want 1.

  • yes find your local ducati dealer they will order it for you

  • If you have... 50-60.000 € and can buy one of the only 1500 produced, do it.

  • LOL street legal.....People are going to die.. :) but @ least it'll be a 200mph and a smile on their faces

  • if you let people ride it that cant controle themselves on the road then yes people will die.

  • Michael Neeve's is great! he always gives the best all out true reviews on any bike. He's right this bike is only for the very experienced and professional riders but it's hasn't stopped those fuckn out of shape old yutz and rich amatuers from buying it. People who get the shit scared out of them when on it.

  • there is absolutely no way i would ever consider giving up riding that bike for sex...i dont care who she was. i GUARANTEE that is better than sex!!! Ill take the V4 orgasm thanks!!!

  • Amen to that one brotha!

  • @forestguymon Tbh id rather be out on any sports bike, on a good road, with good weather, than having sex, motorbikes are just like beer, way better than women.

    Plus you can have sex in whatever conditions, here in the UK, you dont pass up good weather riding for anything, who knows when the sun will come out again!

  • @forestguymon ducati vs sex, man that's a close call... I don't know ,well the ducati doesn't get a headache

  • @forestguymon only one... Megan Fox... that's it... only one. then I would make her buy me one :)

  • Wow. If I were a pro, I'd sure as hell look into buying one of these used. I don't think I'll even take a bike to the track though.

    I'll just stick with my Honda CBR, thanks. It may not be able to run like a Ducati, but it feels more "friendly." And even then, road trips on a sports bike are a terrible and painful idea...

  • This bike used is $50,000!!!

  • Oh my GOD! SICK.........totally sick!! jaja

  • ducati is the best

  • mcn, this vids suck.

  • yea and wots the big deal putting a helmet camera on the rider or another biker following (or try to) it? this iinterview was prepared for days perhaps... and no one got the idea hey lets put more camera on the bike. now what we can C is a standing desmo and a flat out sound at the finish lane. thank you

  • That's MCN standards of reporting for you.

  • ? im not english maybe thatswhy I dont really get what u tryin to say

  • I say that I agree with you. Motorcyclenews is bad at reporting.

  • italian nvr failed to impressed !

  • Would be a cool video without the gay music during the engine sound.

  • how much those things cost in aussie dollars

  • $120.000

  • It's like $75,000 USD

  • Comment removed

  • Ducatis the best!!! full stop

    iv owned vfr400nc30 then another,

    then gsxr1000 k2, then r1 dynomite limited edition no.43 of only 70 made!

    n now my 999 n i hav 2 say gsxr was best 4 max speed n r1 was only good 4 showin off wheelys but duke is the BEST HANDLING bike out the lot! its like a feather; cost bit to maintain but the pleasure u get pushin it n the sounds of my baby r jus to die 4. MV agusta f4's n wateva comes by i role with my head high!

    check it out on my youtbe!

    c ya

  • Does it really handle better than the NC30? Hard to believe, but then again, I have been wrong before :-)

  • iv had 2 nc30's R3L & an R3M, both were my 1st bike's which i began my riding history on!

    to be frank with u i belive they are the best 400's still in the market! but technology is old now! they weight so much my ducati 999 is much lighter then the nc30 as its a late bike and the meterials used on it are much lighter and then 2ndly the Ducati has soul wat them jap bikes dont have!

    3rdly ofcourse its a much better bike when it comes to handling! iv havnt ridden anything thats better then it

  • The economy has forced the price of this bike down. You no longer have to spend $72,500 to own this bike. There are deals everywhere. Am selling my three bikes and buying this one. The D16RR Rosso. I found one with 12 miles on it with a great price tag!

  • You lucky lucky bastard :-)

    Hope you get it, mate

  • Buona scelta!!! It means "the right choice"!!!!!!!!!!

  • Damn, can you reveal the price you got for it?

  • Great sound along with impressive speed and performance. Awesome motorcycle! I can appreciate the elequent description of this bike after the test ride. Thing that really stunned me was its 200hp engine, but not really utilized quite well. I guess if you're going to make a balls-out superbike, best to utilize every last component to their full potential. It's still a fearful bike.

  • Man, that's a nice bike, I'm a Yamaha fan and I've always owned yamahas, but this Ducati is nice. I wish yamaha would do the same and come out with a M1 Replica for the public, then I would even spend $100K for it. But this Ducati is Awesome!!!

  • just a great bike!!

  • I don't think so dude

  • I KNOW so. It has been talked about for two years by the riders (Valentino has had some classic comments re: trying to run with/catch Stoner on the straights....You know who these people are, right--and have BEEN to a Motogp race at least, right?), The press, riders and camera don't lie.

  • if honda made a true motogp replica, it would be more expensive, but it would blow this bike away absolutely.

  • Ummmmmm no, actually. The Duc is UNQUESTIONABLY the fastest down the straight for two years running. Nicki Hayden rode and won with Honda for several years and had this to say about the his new ride for 2009--the Ducati: "I don't know how much they pay Casey Stoner to ride this thing, but it isn't enough--this thing is a beast!" He'd know. he has experience with both now.

  • stupid italian costs any more japanese counterparts.

  • if you can't afford a masterwork then just buy japanese ones.

    stupido coglione figlio di puttana!

  • that sounds cool, what does it mean?

  • fucking dicks why play music over a 40 grand sound!

  • agreed. I hate when they do that.

  • has anyone seen a video with the desmosedici with the new TI gp7 race exhaust???

  • Buy me a new one please!

  • u should not put stupid music next time!!!we want to hear the engine sonud u assholes

  • thanks for ruining it with the shitty music you fucking assholes.

  • Why the damn music???

  • How much in USA dollars?

  • $100,000

  • correction. 72,000K. i think tom cruise and jay leno own them

  • wow oO :D

    i love this bike =]

  • AWESOME MACHINERY,HAVE TO PLAY THE LOTTERY A LITTLE MORE OFTEN.WIFE SAYS,HAVE TO SEND THE KID TO COLLEGE!(lol)

  • Did he say that the Marchesini Magnesium was "first time on a road bike"? Many old Ducks had them!

  • dude, you cant seat a girl on that thing, you'll melt her ass haha ... for women a 848 will do, save the money :)

  • Such a beautiful bike

    Out of curiosity, what song is that in the beginning

  • the ducati has 200bhp and weighs 377lbs

    a zx10 has 156bhp according to RRW and weighs 429lbs

    dont ever compare the two

  • the Desmosedici RR for the street has not 200bhp

    becuase the exhaust is to loud

    with the exhaust which alowed is you only 180ps

  • With the extra, racing exhaust set you get for the 60k, you also get the 200hp. Of course it's illegal to ride with this exhaust on the road.

  • normal street racer bikes are awesomen, cbr, r1, zx, gixxer... but this desmo is just more, its astonishing, its got 200 bhp, its the best.

  • it's 60000 euros and cheap for basicly a prototype made to be road legal(I don't even want to know the price for a F1 in the same situation) it has nothing to do with price strategy of Ducati

  • I think you would need them to ride that bike...

  • I'd sell my balls to get that bike, lol

  • if i could afford it i would buy 1 sorry i like em but then again i like alot of things many people dont and if i see you on the road and im passing you on my GSXR 600 ill wave cuz i know you prolly love riding as well peace out

  • you guys buy aprilias and ducatis....

    ride it and ride it

    but dont do any maintenance,

    and than fucking complain, its broken it sucks!!

    fuck you dickhead

    learn to shift bitchhead,

    that pussyhead that broke the rsv M well he supose to have warrantee?? nigger wtf you complaining!

    you dont make sence at all stupid bitch

    shut the fuck up, go bag some money from your friends to enoying me you fucking pussy get a life

  • dickead, my friends are no niggas drugdealers, just people who love riding bikes. FAST! And yes the aprilia had warranty, and yes we all do a proper maintenance to our bikes. If you study a litle you would know that there are differences in japanese and italian motorcycle industry, not just technology but also regarding to processes and quality control and also something called the stuff wich most bikes are made: steel. Fuck off stupid ignorant poser.

  • im not a poser ok!

    and i can not study, cause im stupid.

    dont call me poser anymore, im not ok.

    why your friends buy those desmosedicis than if they are not good? TO POSE??

    okey you are right, me am false!

    end of discussion.

  • ok ok, peace and love lol. Its true, that friend of mine is a dickead poser, he likes to show the ducatis in sunday morning. But i like him, he is a very funny dude, nice person. Anyway, i like italian bikes, they look much better, specialy dukes and mv augusta, but desmosedici costs more than 50.000 euros. Bikes are for rebels not for the rich son of a stupid mf. Thats why i dont like the ducati strategy in the market. They build bikes for rich pussys. get it?

  • yes get it.

    i agree.

    ducati very beautifull like all italians.

    like most italian cars.

    but like all italian you got problems with everything :)

    i got a honda, and never stop driving honda,

    cause maintenance is to expensive of italian bikes. I hardly can pay for the honda

  • true, the maintenance of a bike is very expensive, specialy if you have a big bike. When i had the zx 12 the rear tyre made 4000km, and it costs more than 200 euros. A big bike its a luxury product so they make you pay for it.Anyway 1000cc sport bikes are an absurd of power, you are paying for power that you are not going to be able to use in road. 600cc is more than enough.

  • i got a 600, but looking out for a 1000 after a 1-2years, so i can drive on low rpm(only reason!). with normal michelin pil pow i made like 4000km, it sucks! but now i got michel pil pow 2CT and i got over 4000km and i stil got half the profile. i pay 300€ front and rear now. first i paid 250€ only rear, but now i find a cheap place!!

  • cool bike, just dont crash it lolol, japs are cheaper and much better

  • yes and no!

    yes much cheaper like 4-5times :)

    but much better??

    are you retarded son?

    i dont say japanese bike are bad!

    but the ducati is 50 times better especialy this desmosedici => you can not compare this bike with any other bike dickhead

  • i have superbikes for more than 15 years, i actuallly know how to ride a superbike instead of seeing then in youtube, so who are you? and what knowledge do you have about this bike? Japs are better and cheaper, ducatis are mechanics best friends. Anyway, congratulations for this year motogp and casey stoner, but dukes are for rich pussys.

  • well you have ride sbk for over 15 years, ever tried out an ducati???

    i'm comparing STOCK ducati with stock japanese!! And yes it's treu ducatis are mech best friends thats treu. i got a honda cbr myself ss. you started riding sbk at age 7? now you're 22 years old? If you knew better you wouldnt respond like this okey!

    italian bikes are the best! do not compare those bikes with japanese bikes!

  • my first bike was a FZR 1000 and i had 20 years...you are smart, figure it out. Also Triumph daytona 955i, KAWA ZX12 AND KAWA ZX636. And yes, i ride dukes, a friend of mine as got a few, 748, monster, 996? and he is going to be one of portuguese desmosedici owners. I like them, but they are superoverpriced and has reliability maters lolol...

  • btw, a stock yapanese=> gon on the track! a stock italian => go on the track!

    make out yourself :)

    ducati for rich pussies? offcourse, whats better=>costs more!!

    if i had the money i would buy a ducati instead of a honda!! SAME FOR YOU, DONT FUCKING LIE NOW DUDE!!

  • btw, you can buy a kawa zx 10 or a gsxr 1000 or a cbr 1000 stock and you make 24 hours resistence with them, you try that with a duke?? ahahaha, my friend, dukes are beatifull bikes, with ohlins, marchesini and stuff like that, but mine zx636 is more than enough for a road 1098, get it? bikes are made to ride them, not to look at them all the time ahaha, honda dickead.

  • shut up pussyhead!

    kawazaki is the biggest garbage!!

    every one knows that, it's a fact!!

    Ducat, mv agusta, bimota,...=> RULES

    italian bikes are magnificant...

    and yes ducati's are reliable but need more maintenance than japanese,

    and yes japanese are more reliable!

    so end

    japanese=> for suckers like me and you!

    italians=> rich people like pussyheads haha

  • dickead, friend of mine have aprilia rsv 1000 and is like ducatis, lots of problems in clutch and other shit, but still beautifull and precise bike. Ok, if you dont have money problems and like mechanics and beautifull bikes buy an italian. Anyway, i dont like the new japs, fuckin ugly piece of plastic, no personality. Ok, send me a desmosedici and ill give it a try ahaha

  • thats your opinion!!

    it s like a ferrari and honda!!

    it got PASSION, exotic, ....

    stop okay, you dont make any sence

  • ferrari? mans car is a porsche carrera gt. You dont know shit about cars and bikes. You are a fuckin poser dude, like those pussys i see with hayabusas in the coffee and then they wett theyr pants on the road. Shutt up.

  • the biggest pussy is you, you go suck your friends dick to ride them ducatis haha.

    There is only one car for me => STOCK corrado VR6. okey you go drive garrera gt i dont give a fuck. FUCK YOU AND YOUR MOTHAFUCKING FRIENDS!! yes he got rsv mille he fucked up the clutch because he cant drive it.

    You guys maybe can buy it with drug money or other shit... but still can not drive it and brake it. so shut the fuck up imbeciel

  • Im guessing youre an Alfa Romeo fan? How can you like Alfas and not Ducatis? They are the same thing except one has 4 wheels and one has 2. I have one of both- both have lots of troubles but u still love them for their character and beauty. Sure neither may be as proficient as a Japper- thats why we love them.

  • Correction: Im not alfa romeu fan, that is problably the bigest piece of shit in the world, followed by Lancia and Fiat. And i like Dukes, i dont like Ducati price strategy, fuck them and 50.000 euros bikes, ok?

  • Really?

    You know who has a great pricing strategy? Your mother! Its so great cuz she costs $0! Means I can afford an Alfa AND a Ducati and pull the girls u never could with ur japanese appliances. ok?

  • i must tell you something dude, i dont need a bike to impress girls like all the faggs in the world like you, small dick and small brains, thats why you need ducatis and alfas. I ride a bike because i like, thats why, something a fagg like you cant understand. Go so dicks so you can earn the 50.000 euros and buy the desmosedici.

  • The Honda NR750 was EXACTLY the same price as the Duke but TEN YEARS AGO! SO again, this has NOTHING to do with a price strategy per se and everything to do with the number of bikes that are made to spread the cost out over, and also the components and research involved. The MV Agusta CC was more money than the Duke and it was hardly cutting edge as this bike is. Anyone that doesn't like this bike is an idiot!

  • Ideal first big bike ;)

  • is it enough power for the road? will it be a blurry image to a speed camera?

  • wat a bike

  • i like the bike and ducatie and especially Capirossi

  • One day i will be the owner of one of this bikes...i dont care how much years i have to safe money.

  • I'm starting with a Monster S2R 1000

  • you wish... and so do I :D Hopefully (but doubtfully) it takes the NR750 route... not really getting pricier over time.

  • Remind me to buy one of these

  • sorry but that music is not good!

  • Fabulous bike, and interesting vid, BUT, Why

    When we're trying to hear the sound on the track do we have to have that Bloody silly

    music blaring....Should know better MCN......

  • tommythecola: What Superbike championship? They sure as hell don't dominate World SBK. Troy Bayliss is currently 4th, behind a Honda, a Yamaha and a Suzuki. And soul? We are talking about a machine here, just metal and plastic. Leave the soul argument to the Harley morons.

  • world sbk yes.

    From the 1988 ducati won 14 times/19.

    Today, after only FOUR years DUCATI has won the MOTOGP championship in japan.

    Go on wikipedia and search about the history of ducati engines.

    Honda produces bycicles. Ducati MOTORCYCLES.

    pwnd

  • I had a 916, it was lovely to look at but an unreliable dog of a thing.... I have had GSXR's and CBR's and found them to be anything but "souless".... depends on what you want to believe but in my opinion the jap bikes are well ahead in major ways over the Duke....

  • is the rr the racing version or is the racing version a gp7??
