you boys might like this.

so today i was having coffee with a friend on this popular street in melbourne when i hear this rumbling sound. it was something you wouldnt hear anywhere else than at a motogp race. i was pretty sure what it was and a few moments later it turns up . a desmosedici rr. for those who dont know its the first true motogp race replica. one of the most expensive production bikes on the planet. not to mention the fastest as well. had a chat with the owner who collects ducatis and had 12 of them . seemed like a great guy and let me take a photo on it. here are the pics taken on a crap camera phone'

enjoy..

Holy Desmosedici, did you have a chance to ask him how many mansions he sold off for it?

rossiter, thanks for sharing these. The peak of the torque curve does seem quite odd (a dip right in the middle there and it does not seem wide enough at the top).
Never knew the setup was so elaborate to run the dyno at the crank. That is amazing!

@dhariya: sad to see you letting go of that machine. Hopefully you get a good one in India and keep up updated with more track day stories / info / tips

The dyno graphs that rossiter shared are the real deal: http://www.akrapovic.com/motorcycle-...on-3f11e81a0a/

If you like the bike, and think it has had a pleasant past, get it down.
2.5K usd, thats 1,25,000, another 1L odd duty, and say another 50K for shipping, and another 50K for the road tax, thats 3,25,000, you will not find a bike as good as yours for that kind of money in India.
Thanks. But the thing is I need the cash. I would not have been thinking of selling it if I had the dough!

The official machines sold in India (R1 and the MT-01) surely comes with full comprehensive insurance. So, go ahead and get either of these and you would also get peace of mind..
