Perhaps people’s “bile” filled comments are an expression of how much people like the bike, the brand and how they would treat it in the unlikely event that any of us owned one. It would of course been possible to say how you acquired the bike in the first minute of the first video......... That airbox and rear seat fairing......beautiful. Nice tip about the ignition as well.
Beautiful bike, even when it’s been neglected... I had a 916 many years ago, and I spent many an hour just staring at it. Different class. Look forward to further progress.
I can't believe people raise hell and then the story is one that would make anyone feel ashamed. Bright side, this guy's bike is getting front and center for motorcycle mag... That is a cool honor!
This was great!!! Please keep the updates coming as you work on the bike. Many of us will never have a chance to own one of these rare bikes. Seeing your progress and the inside camera shots is epic...thanks
For me, apart from actual pedigree GP bikes, theres absolutely nothing more special than the Desmo. Its based on my favourite era of Ducati GP bikes (2003) and the most beautiful i think. Its always been my No'1.
Totally agree, RIP to the previous owner... He didn't get to full fill his passion for the bike to its max. So glad you guys are bringing it back to life, in memory of him too. But yeah the total desmo fairings costs the same as my 899 Panigale 🤣
A normal monster tank from Ducati was setting you back $2500, in 2006... So the prices on a 16RR body parts aren't that bad, since they all are horrendous!
Hi, how long will it is gonna take to bring up the new video about this pretty red motorcycle, something about it's nut n' bolts and fixing is almost orgasmic. Hope to see the new video soon..!!
Will you release the financials on this? Cost to buy, repair / service and then market value post work. Demonstrate if it is a worthwhile investment or a costly passion project
its crazy! i suppose! me ask for cost parts and... if we find it on borgo panigale they cost like racing parts.. and how much after ? in italy 50000/70000 euro , its a bikefor rick kid and today its only for collector because new ducati v4s its better and cost 1/3 , but desmosedici its fuking sexy and exotic bike!
As a Desmo owner this is an intriguing vlog, could have a little more content imo, 10k fairings? yes originals are, but the quick view removing the side panel, appears its a replica panel 'fibreglass' as is the nose cone from the first vid, your getting replacement parts straight from the factory, is there much available?? bolts maybe, but parts like panels, lights etc
Agreed, it appears all the bodywork is fiberglass replicas. I'd like to see where cheap OE parts are available on eBay. They are perhaps cheaper than dealer prices but will still total at least $5k all up. That said, fiberglass is perfectly acceptable for a "rider" not a museum piece.
@@ducbox572 Totally agree, i have had replica fairings on mine since 2010, no headlights on it either, they will be expensive, i have a spare set, i wonder if i could do a deal with the boys 😉
I'd bet many of them could well be standard sizes produced for Ducati's entire range, ..if they clean up well without corrosive/active deep rust, polishing them and lacquering them would be cheaper than replating - with replating, you might as well order full on replacements - albeit ones not made from Italian/mild steel, but of stainless, or titanium.
Yes easy to judge and I shouldn’t have judged. First thing that comes into your mind is that some rich dude has just left this in the garage. Why did I /we do that? It’s sensible to assume the reality of the situation, the poor guy died and his estate has to sort out the legalities of ownership. More about the bike, are those casings aluminium or magnesium? That furry deposit round the casing bolts, is that due to some electrolytic action taken place whilst the bike has been stood? It’s quite shocking how much and how little damage happens when a bike just stands for a long time. Would the damage have been reduced if the bike had been stood in a heated or constant temperature room/garage.
Wasn't that era of Moto GP using 500cc 2 stroke engines? If so is that engine a 2 stroker? Exhaust tips look small to be 4 stroke but I don't know Moto GP note this bike. Thanks!
No, two stroke engines had been out for a few years when the Desmosedici was built, this is based on a 2006 moto GP bike, it`s a four stroke engine by the way..
Sadly,the Desmosedeici has turned into just an expensive collector bike. I’ve never ridden one but have been told that it’s a horrendously hot bike to ride on the street. The radiators put off a tremendous amount of heat and will toast your nuts in no time. A beautiful piece of two wheeled engineering that has been superseded by the new V-4 Panagale at a considerably lower price.
Stunning bike! Don't see any point in buying cheap nasty bolts back from Ducati though. There is a reason that they went rusty. You'd be far better off spending an hour in a marine stores and replacing them all with marine grade galvanized bolts, never to see rust again.
Yeah buddy not a chance, the Pani v4 is a mass produced road bike, this was based on the GP06 in a wet setup. Having ridden the Pani v4 around Brno it’s a much better bike, BUT it feels like a baby Desmo if that makes sense
I'm late to the party, but maybe you should have included the backstory on the lead video to prevent all the bile and vitriol that ensued in the comments.
Beautiful bike guys. I'd just take a brass brush to those white furry bits. Flush the coolant, fresh oil, bleed brakes, forks if you're keen. Check air filter, pads moving ok, plugs ok, new battery, job done once you've got the belly pan no?
I'd at least do either a compression test and or a leakdown test as a bare minimum on the engine mechanics. Seeing as how it's sat in a potentially damp environment for so long the bores could suffer from some corrosion damage. Even after an oil soak it, could pick the rings and score.
For the record it’s nagging me that you point out how much the bodywork is. The stuff on this bike isn’t original, it’s all fibreglass not carbon. Plus this is trackday bodywork. I’m assuming/hoping you have the roadkit including headlight, taillight and mirrors.
Nice track bikes, bloody useless on the road (unless it`s a very twisty road) - the price tag and availability of parts kept mine parked a lot more than I`d have liked, but owning other equally desirable dukes helped, a younger guy has it now, he can afford it more than I was able to - he bought my 1098 R as well so he`s not poor..
Beautiful bike, so glad you’re bringing this piece of art back to life 👌🏻
Perhaps people’s “bile” filled comments are an expression of how much people like the bike, the brand and how they would treat it in the unlikely event that any of us owned one.

This is going to be a top series. Love the D16RR
Yep, Desmo Seduce Me.
I can't believe people raise hell and then the story is one that would make anyone feel ashamed. Bright side, this guy's bike is getting front and center for motorcycle mag... That is a cool honor!
Couldnt agree more......all those who slagged off the guy should all put up apologee. Bad taste. Happier note gonna be a great project.👍👍👍
Honour
Wish that video could have been a little longer, can't get enough of that red beauty in just 9 minutes.!!
Plenty more to come.
This was great!!! Please keep the updates coming as you work on the bike. Many of us will never have a chance to own one of these rare bikes. Seeing your progress and the inside camera shots is epic...thanks
Really enjoying getting an in depth peek at this bike.
Absolutely gorgeous piece of rolling artwork. Incredible.
thx for taking us along for the re-build
many thanks - really enjoying this mini-series. Cant wait to see the processes and of course the finished Desmo
Thanks Stephen
For me, apart from actual pedigree GP bikes, theres absolutely nothing more special than the Desmo. Its based on my favourite era of Ducati GP bikes (2003) and the most beautiful i think. Its always been my No'1.
Really nice rebuilt video to look at 👍🏻
The Desmosedici is a real proper dream bike!
Wow what an amazing bike, excited for the re build! 👍
Thanks
A true work of art, both inside and out
I'm liking this series so far, so please follow through with it 👍
Thanks
Looking forward to Part III. ! Besides Diavel, my dream bike and only SS bike I would like to own.
Keep up the great work
Brilliant, if far too short, 2nd part to this series. Looking forward to see how it comes together. Thank you
Thanks Nick
Waiting to see a dyno run after the restoration 🔥😬
RIP previous owner.
Totally agree, RIP to the previous owner... He didn't get to full fill his passion for the bike to its max. So glad you guys are bringing it back to life, in memory of him too. But yeah the total desmo fairings costs the same as my 899 Panigale 🤣
Can't they just get the parts scanned and 3D printed, or replicated in carbon fibre?
You say "just" as if what you're describing is some kind of trivial exercise.
opmike343 It is not???
Its trivially expensive thats all, depending on your perspective.
Awesome series! Can’t wait for more episodes!
Cannot wait to hear this fire up.
It'll be a while yet.
The previous owner must have loved my region (Emilia Romagna - Italy) seen that he had that sticker on the handlebars
My heart sank when that hugger dropped on the rear tyre! Be careful ffs lol
Looking forward to some high quality riding videos of this bike when it's done!
Good series.
Nice garage too by the way.
Thank you R1Racing71
Appreciated 👍🏻
fantastic series, more please
Marc H More coming Marc!
Really enjoying this 👍
Thanks
fantastic , why oh why there is 3 thumbs down . have no idea . great stuff keep up the good work .
Thanks Sean
How could you give a thumbs down to this ???
I thumbs downed because these dudes did more gabbing than showing the bike or working on it.
Tyler Coates that’s a bit lame, this is an on going series. They’ll be plenty of bike footage, we’ve just started.
@@BikeWorldTVshow belatedly joining the series, ..I bet Tyler liked his own comment too judging from their lack of cognition.
Nice teaming up with young Ben Affleck
What's up guys? :) Please continue this build series...
keep the videos coming boys!
Awesome project I'll be sticking to Gsxr's though much more my budget 😭
Fantastic show ... More more more..... Please :)
Neil Brown More coming Neil.
Makes me home sick these vids
for 2006 bike i can say it really modern its time....
Sooooooooo cool. Very jealous!
Dan the mech lives in the real world
Why didn’t the camera man film the left side of the bike, was it too far to walk around? 😂
We need to deal with the lighting in Dans workshop, it was a bit dark on left side.
A normal monster tank from Ducati was setting you back $2500, in 2006... So the prices on a 16RR body parts aren't that bad, since they all are horrendous!
Could just leave the kill switch off and turn the key on to get the mileage.....
How much did you pay for it? A true thing of beauty, looking forward to the rest of the series :)
Hope he enjoyed those 1360Mi !!
Motorcycle porn. Pure, beautiful, tantalising, motorcycle porn. Love it!
A 9min video to remove a fuel tank...new record!
Glad you enjoyed it.
And then lay it directly on a floor without any kind of paint protection. More money than brains.
I don't know anything about these bikes, so a quick check on Autotrader shows the least expensive at £20 less than 60k. Good luck with the process.
Alan Male Thanks Alan
Why are people these days so quick to make assumptions and accuse. Social media really does bring out the worst in people.
Interesting. thanks
Getting cozy with her tail end at 1:17
My god that would look great next to my M.H.R.......
Hi, how long will it is gonna take to bring up the new video about this pretty red motorcycle, something about it's nut n' bolts and fixing is almost orgasmic. Hope to see the new video soon..!!
prateek prakash not long to wait!
Old presenter was great. He's about as much charisma as a wet rock
This exhaust system is clearly jizz worthy. My god.
Will you release the financials on this? Cost to buy, repair / service and then market value post work. Demonstrate if it is a worthwhile investment or a costly passion project
simple! i go to ducati delears and ask.... the desmo service cost 5000 euro plus parts... every 1800 km... its like racing bike.. crazy!
@@awanaganaa my.point was for the entire restoration costs verse revised market value.

Worth considering cleaning up & re-plating any original bolts? Save money & keeps it all original 👌🏼
I'd bet many of them could well be standard sizes produced for Ducati's entire range, ..if they clean up well without corrosive/active deep rust, polishing them and lacquering them would be cheaper than replating - with replating, you might as well order full on replacements - albeit ones not made from Italian/mild steel, but of stainless, or titanium.
Is that bike from the U.S. ? I believe i know the whole back story to that bike it was a good friend of mine who passed from cancer.
Justin L It wasn’t Justin, UK bike.
Was it stored in a pond or did Ducati cheap out on the fasteners and finish like a Chinese moped?
Can't waiting 😋😋😋😱
Could you not put the ignition on with the kill switch in the off position to stop the fuel pump priming? Could be wrong tho
What's the price of such a project bike?
Yes easy to judge and I shouldn’t have judged. First thing that comes into your mind is that some rich dude has just left this in the garage. Why did I /we do that? It’s sensible to assume the reality of the situation, the poor guy died and his estate has to sort out the legalities of ownership.

It’s quite shocking how much and how little damage happens when a bike just stands for a long time. Would the damage have been reduced if the bike had been stood in a heated or constant temperature room/garage.
Damn, amazing bike, but the level of inconvenience of placing the battery under the fuel tank is maximum.
How much did you buy it for please?
Ducati best motocycle
Sorry if you have mentioned or answered previously, but have you got the fairing lowers?
Mike Stewart Yes Mike, we also have all the road kit.
Hahahaha your Desmo fairings cost more than my entire new bike out the door!
MOAR!
Wonder what the most expensive bit you need will be. Im doing a rs125 up the same as what i had at 17 and one side panel is 750
try to buy the parts in italy on subito . it
Nice!.... how much money..what u pay??
Wasn't that era of Moto GP using 500cc 2 stroke engines? If so is that engine a 2 stroker? Exhaust tips look small to be 4 stroke but I don't know Moto GP note this bike. Thanks!

fw1421 yes but the Desmo is a proper GP replica. Panigale version of this is the superleggera.
Whats the price of this machine in its current condition?
Eff me I NEED one of those!
Stunning bike! Don't see any point in buying cheap nasty bolts back from Ducati though. There is a reason that they went rusty. You'd be far better off spending an hour in a marine stores and replacing them all with marine grade galvanized bolts, never to see rust again.
Bike World, my buddy has the aftermarket exhaust for that bike if you guys want to buy one.
Jo E drop me an email, Jo. John@superbike.co.uk thanks very much.
Jo E , might be interested if it’s the full kit, pipes, bodywork, ECU
41Freak take a ticket and get in line man.
Any news on Part 3?
I didn't know you could repair THAT. What's it gonna be ? 2 kidneys ? A liver ? one of the brain's lobes ?
too cool!
Do you think these bikes are worth less in value now that there is a new modern Ducati v 4 ????
Yeah buddy not a chance, the Pani v4 is a mass produced road bike, this was based on the GP06 in a wet setup.
Having ridden the Pani v4 around Brno it’s a much better bike, BUT it feels like a baby Desmo if that makes sense
Need more episodes
Michael B Coming!
why not resto mod it? upgrade the parts that deserve to be modernized, like the rims and the suspension. better taillights maybe?
probably also a sweet painjob
I'm late to the party, but maybe you should have included the backstory on the lead video to prevent all the bile and vitriol that ensued in the comments.
More detailshots please!!!
Beautiful bike guys. I'd just take a brass brush to those white furry bits. Flush the coolant, fresh oil, bleed brakes, forks if you're keen. Check air filter, pads moving ok, plugs ok, new battery, job done once you've got the belly pan no?
Oh and new tyres. It's no a rebuild, it's a freshen up. Can't wait to hear it.
I'd at least do either a compression test and or a leakdown test as a bare minimum on the engine mechanics. Seeing as how it's sat in a potentially damp environment for so long the bores could suffer from some corrosion damage. Even after an oil soak it, could pick the rings and score.
My Deadly Valentine
Are these bolts light weight

I’m assuming/hoping you have the roadkit including headlight, taillight and mirrors.
For the record yes we do have the original body work and it is going back on.
Nice track bikes, bloody useless on the road (unless it`s a very twisty road) - the price tag and availability of parts kept mine parked a lot more than I`d have liked, but owning other equally desirable dukes helped, a younger guy has it now, he can afford it more than I was able to - he bought my 1098 R as well so he`s not poor..
I think we’d all like to know what you paid for it.

This. All of this.
How can you let a do a motorcycle go to waste like that?
..obviously you didn't listen, or understand what was said, rewatch it and pay attention if you are so bothered.
This may be surprising to you, but you can't ride or maintain a motorbike when you are dead.
Jony Ive is that you?
I want it ! Will you take a kidney in px ?!!
need better lighting in the shop mate!
We know, dealing with it. Thanks
Praticamente un semi monoscocca.. Questa è una ducati del 2006/07...ora non so di sicuro... Perché dal 2008 è entrato il monoscocca in carbonio..
