- It's Desmo time!
A big thanks to the guys from The Bike Specialists for giving us the opportunity to ride such an iconic bike. We all know about the Ducati Desmosedici RR, along with the Honda RC213V-S it's the closest thing to a MotoGP bike for the road. Another very good day at the office for Chris!
#ducati #motogp # DesmosediciRR
Riding one of these bikes is one thing - OWNING one is another story altogether, back in 2015 I found myself in a position to buy any bike I wanted - I ended up with six Ducati, a Kawasaki and no Wife, (she left in disgust) The D16RR is a cranky expensive razor and I loved it, mine came with the 'customer sport' exhaust and ecu, so it was like a fish out of water until you hit the track (or open road) - I live in Australia so Phillip Island GP circuit is only an hour from home, it`s the perfect place to sort out which bike can do what - my 1198R came out on top for lap times, it was a former superbike in the domestic series down here and was a wild ride, but the Desmosedici was a Dream Ride Indeed.
Now I`ve made it to 60 y/old I`ve hung up the leathers and sold-off the bulk of the bikes, but I kept one - the Desmosedici 👀
Oh Robert, you own my dream bike! Its unparalleled beauty and its racing aura drives me crazy!
I'm from Rome and I own a few bikes too (all strictly Italian: Ducati Panigale V4 S, Ducati Diavel, MV Agusta Brutale 1000RR, Moto Guzzi V7 Centenario, Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello, Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory and a Vespa 125 GTS SuperSport) and I'm always tempted to sell some of them to buy a DesmosediciRR: currently, there are 2 DesmoRR on sale in Italia, at 100.000 and 120.000 Euro.
Even my woman would be ok with that as she loves bikes too, yet, to be honest, I perfectly know that I'm not such a great rider and I'd be scared as hell on a beast like that, both for me and the damage I would made and that stops me. I'd like to be more courageous but I can't, so for now I can only dream it. It's my favourite bike ever, by miles. You were so lucky.
@@Davide.A.Visconti-Borghese Well it sounds like you`re doing ok for rides, If you took the engine from the V4S and stuck it in the Tuono 660 Factory bike it would be like a civilised D16RR - sort of, I agree with the comments about it`s looks - no other bike comes close to a D16RR for sheer beauty and they are actually very comfy - even for a tall person like me..
@@greyhound3561 Yeah, I'm tall too (185cm) but I don't care about that... my biggest problem with Ducati bikes is one and just one: the heat, especially during Italian summers, is almost unbearable. But that's the price to pay for a V engine, I suppose.
(the V4 engine stucked in the Tuono it's nothing but a brilliant idea 😂)
@@Davide.A.Visconti-Borghese I had to sit and look at all of mine for two years while a hip injury healed, I got desperate and took the desmo out for a ride but I was lucky to get home - thought I was ok but realised half way I was far too stoned on the pain killers I was taking and should have been driving my armchair, I even clipped a curb - which woke me up and I turned back - almost the most expensive crash I ever had ! 🤣
Don't blame you one bit!😢
The Desmo RR is _the_ most beautiful bike ever built, with the RC213V-S a very close second (for me). This little series is brilliant so a big thank you. Cheers fella's 👍😁
It looks like a catfish that got pinched on the nose
come on, RC213V-S is ugly. the only special thing about it is the tech. it has absolutely no appeal for me looks wise
Sure if you are used to the transformer look of today it's a looker, but it's not one of the greats in terms of how it looks. so many more beautiful bikes ahead of this in that department. Not saying it's ugly but seriously there are much better looking bikes in the world
916SPS.....all day long.
Its ugly as hell but good performance
The Ducati equivalent to the F40. Analog and very, very special. I remember when they were announced trying to do the sums on how to buy one. It was never going to happen.
The comparison is that it's Italian, red and you can see the weave of the carbon through the paint. I don't see the appeal to this tbh, but the F40 is the best supercar ever made, still looks amazing today!
I love how there is another one in the back 😆
Chris, you are the right person to have these dream rides bestowed upon you to test. I will say it again. How incredibly generous of the good folks to entrust you to ride and share with all the viewers. An absolute treat!
This is my all time favorite bike since it came out. I was fortunate enough to see a rosso one just parked next to other bikes in a city in central Mexico. I was a block away when I saw it. Stunning from afar. Shocked it didn't get more attention. Absolute beauty
Was it in Toluca?
Great vid. Fortunate to have a Desmo and V4 Super in the garage. Such different bikes to ride. The super is pleasant but super quick and agile but the Desmo, it makes you smile every time you ride it. And yes, they both get riden lots
For mind blowing concept, design, build, and rarity, it would have to be Honda's 1992 NR750 Oval Piston for me personally. I don't care if it's slow and heavy, not powerful, not a race bike etc., etc. I just don't think anyone will ever top that for sheer amazement in spectacular engineering.
I love this series Chris, watching your passion and skill, riding some real old school class, is way up there. Cheers👍🏻
Easily among the most desirable bikes EVER made. Stunning beauty. Savage performance. Top shelf pedigree. Distinctly Italian in every way.
Well done Chris!
Thanks for lending him the Duck, James! 😁
Every gearhead in the world appreciates it! 👍
In re-watching this for the umpteenth time, while stuck with Ducatis in the garage and my foot in a walking boot, I got goosebumps, seeing and hearing the bike. Chris’s description of its elemental, raw characteristics reminded me of Aldous Huxley’s description of our brain and nervous system as a reducing valve, protecting us in our daily survival by reducing consciousness to a “measly trickle” (The Doors of Perception/Heaven and Hell). This was the Ducati designers and engineers tossing out the reduction valve and gifting us the full-tilt experience; a rushing river in place of a measly trickle.
The only bikes that interest me or ones that are a joy to ride. Videos like these are a pleasure to watch.
Cheers!
Dam! This bike look so good. Still today after all these years "Nothing Still Beats It". The design & concept of this motorcycle is incredible ❤.
I'm glad you said they did some without the stripes on the side as years ago I was sure I saw one on the road.
It was definitely a Ducati and was definitely not a v twin sound.
It was also before they made the 4 cylinder superbike.
I'm even more confident I saw one now.
Desmo is not a bike, it's an art on wheels. The artist being always, Ducati
*_the most beautiful Ducati bike i have ever saw._*
In terms of styling, the Superleggera is very similar to other bikes now, the Desmosedici is a museum piece of art like the 916, it looks incredible, and nothing like any other bike, ever. It's a track bike for people who don't care if they bin it or to be kept in the garage and looked at for the few seconds it's not covered. I think you're right there, Chris, it's a Ducati, just like having an Italian girlfriend, she'll let you know when you're doing it wrong and dump you when you're not good enough...
Love this series, keep 'em coming! 👏
Awesome review!!
Your description of this bike reminds me of the first time I 'demo rode' the first year Ducati 1098...no rider aids, stiff on/off clutch, stiff throttle, super sensitive grabby brakes, loud and viby engine, crazy low end torque, hard and stiff suspension, front wheel in the air at every twist of the throttle in the lower gears, very limited steering lock.
I felt that it definitely wanted to kill anyone that dared to ride it. Loved it! And so, I bought the Monster s2r1000 instead.
I think you summed it up perfectly Chris, the D16RR is an event every time you press the starter. The exhaust note, intake and just how fast the motor spins up is incredible. Admittedly they're not an easy bike to live with on the road, you can just burble along at 30mph quite easily, but get it above 10K and it'll rip your arms off.
They only really make sense above 100mph, everything just works then, the chassis comes alive and the stiffness seems to fade away. It's the exhaust/intake that is just all encompassing when you are on one, you cannot hear anything else the sound is all around you.
Super emotional productions you guys are doing! Top 👍
One of my all time favourite bikes - I wish I had the money back in 2008 ….. I still want one now ! A couple years ago I was at the NEC bike show when the new Ducati V4 was on show - it didn’t compare to the Desmo !
Some years back i saw one at Kavala in Greece and it was simply the only time in my hole life (im 34) that i was SOCKED that way just by looking at a motorcycle! Remember when it was the first time that you saw a shiny red Ferrari or Lambo when you were a school boy? I felt the same feeling looking at Desmocedicci passing by! Man what a piece of art!
That Desmo rebuild series was soooo disappointing, that's fantastic you actually rode one and told us about how the damn thing feels like!
Excellent taste choosing the 1199SL as an all time favorite!.. that is also my favorite ducati. I can imagine the partiality to it after having smoked those hypercars on that special day too. Nothing like pulling on a p1 and a 918 to attach you to a bike...
Great video 👍🏻. I had a 1199s and it was bonkers. I still miss it.
I got to see one of these on the road last summer. Unforgettable bike, super awesome owner
Great review, thanks. It's the last really beautiful Ducati. Others are angry and angular, but this and the 916/996/998 are the peak.
The one I've been waiting for,, your ride and review of the desmo I'd love one but I'd want to ride it and some do ,,, awesome thanks Ducati for the balls to build and sell em ,,rcv 160000 if you can get one ,, be able to get most of my dream bikes for that money 🤑🤑🤑🤑 from northern Ireland great video
Fantastic video. Loved it.
Chris, With either the Superleggera or Desmo, you could put a few grand down and finance one. Run it hard for a year and then probably sell it for what you paid or more. These collectables are the sweet spot of free motoring. Love the content mate! 👌
We were considering do it as a RUclips project, do some crazy stuff with one an see if the revenue would cover the cost of the bike.
That’s a ridiculous statement… mainly because it’s absolutely accurate! 🤯
Until Dorris in her Clio flicks a stone up and puts a nice chip in the front fairing... Unless you could find one that isn't absolutely mint and will have depreciated accordingly before you buy it
Run it hard for a year.. but stack it and no way you get your cash back!
Since i saw the presentation in a local dealer in france, the start up sound, time to turn around and even saw in the garage without the panels. I keep that motorcycle in my dreams for the best sound ever heard on a production bike.
I remember my dad having one of these when I was a kid and the sound of it is just unreal, they burblenthey have when you release the clutch and roll off sounds just like the GP bikes. The sound doesn't come across anywhere close on camera!
I adore mine (#1452). Best sounding bike ever; aggro like an old school Duke should be, but actually useable; and looks epic!
I have #0687 - it`s set up for track day use, with the mid-pipe muffler removed and the track ECU fitted, it still has lights etc but is VERY loud, I use earplugs inside my helmet..
Unreal…that exhaust! That face!
I remember troy bayliss doing a test on Casey stoner's championship winner , how raw it was . Respect to Casey first year on the desmosidisi .
Awesome bike cheers
Well the chicken strips on the tyre at the end says it all. Ridden with the utmost respect. I love your enthusiasm Chris. A great channel.
Cheers, not sure if it would have been the same on track! 😈
Love the Desmo and will have one in the next few years. Don't care if its any good or not its one of the best looking bikes fullstop.
What a job you have! Damn! Great video as always
Cheers!
Man. These series of videos are so high quality!!! I wish each episode is slightly longer. Also I'd appreciate 1-2 mins external microphone for the exhaust note!
That was fantastic, thanks 😁🤗
Desmo camshaft closed the valves as well as opens em !! Best sounding bike on the road and thats gorgeous too
What a spectacular bike and I have a 996 SPS in my living room (just bringing it out for a service so it can be ridden after 6 years as modern art) this would be a wonderful replacement, maybe I should sell a few watches lol!!
I made the pistons in that bike, this is the single reason the bike is so good.... honest 😃
One of the most beautiful bikes ever made
My ultimate dream bike. I've been looking for one here in Canada for a while now. If I ever get it I'll definitely be riding it. How can you own and not ride the greatest sounding exhaust ever
You lucky sod, in my 45 years of riding and owning close to 40 bikes over that period only two bikes have scared me ,the original two stroke Kawasaki H2 and the Ducati Panigale 1199 ,which IMO shows what a beast the 1199 is considering it has nearly 3 times the power of the H2 ,a fantastic chassis along with modern tyres which are light years ahead of the H2s 1970s marble mimicking tyres, yet with all these massive improvements it still rivals the old "widow maker" as the scariest bike.
I really like the weelies you guys in the bike world John fireblade and Cris made with the desmo 🤣
I love the shark nose attitude the front presents - nothing else like it.
My most loved motorcycle of all time.😢
great video ! if you can sort out a Honda RC213V-S, it would be crazy!
After the 998R that´s my dream bike! :D
Funny. Cos we all know Stoner was incredible on this era’s MotoGP bike - but this bike just reminds me of Bayliss every time. No idea why.
Have to agree, that bike’s a wet dream on wheels 😍
And he’s got another one behind you😳
Gotta be in the RC30/RC45 league👌🏽
Love the desmo RR and the review series, well done guys
Would you be able to review a Honda CBR1000RR 2006? I would love to hear your thoughts comparing it to a modern super sports bike
I have a Rosso that will be going back to the US from Germany. I've had the opportunity to legally get the bike up to the speed where it needs to be, WHAT A BLAST, but it is not the daily driver. 2 hours is pushing it, very stiff. I still love it!
This bike has always been and will always be gorgeous…
Not sure where this series goes from the desmo, the ultimate Ducati if not ultimate street-legal bike ever.
But, what's next on the list?
1098R
Yamaha R7
Vincent Black Shadow
Bimota Tesi
RC30
VF1000R
The start up sounds a little bit like a brand new rd 350 with a brand new expansion Chamber, oh gosh it's epic. It's like a little bit of heaven had just occured/ happened or something like it, does anything that I've just wrote make sense or have any meaning or correct.
I still firmly believe the 2000-2008 litre bikes were the wildest machines ever made, the power and handling is pretty much comparable to anything modern but with little to no electictrics calming things back down.
Very true - I had a Ducati 999, 1098R, D16RR and a Panigale 1199S, it was the only one to be totally ecu - loaded, so many options I got lost a couple of times and also it was the only one I found too - hot to ride in summer, it got unbearable if you were in traffic, I doubt many people like to commute on one !
Seen one in person when I use to work at a Ducati/triumph dealer 👌🏾, was just sitting on the showroom floor for sale and this was only 3 years ago lol
WOW......Just WOW.......
Another awesome dream bike. A few years ago went to a bike show here in NZ where owners brought their bikes rather than manufactures, Graeme Crosby had his Z900 modified bikes which are stunning but there was also one of these beauties. And the guy started it up, inside the building. Holy crap it was awesome and suddenly the crowd was 20 deep with a lot of stupidly grinning folk around it. Best show ever!
Chris and I have the same blank check bike the 1199 Superleggera. I think it is the Ultimate version of the greatest and sexiest Ducati.
YES!! MORE!!!!
Cold start and instant revvs lol
That wasn't revving!
can't wait 😍😍
My kind of bike, exquisite… You can’t help but associate this Desmo with Casey Stoner..
I’d happily Chuck in a quid on GoFundMe for you Chris, easily done with the amount of subscribers.
Then you could share the fun of racing it over a few months. Then maybe do a lottery for it for a charity?
Anyhow, thank you for allowing me to vicariously enjoy the beauty of that beast! 👍
Nice vid. I do fancy one but it’s a chunk to have in one bike. Cracker tho.
Still and always be one of my dreams bike, dunno if gonna happen or not but hey, dream on.
If this long SHARKY design is not a masterpiece, than what does? It is legendary
So beautiful
Exquisitely gorgeous🤤
DESMO!!!!!
❤❤❤
That is the ultimate dream bike
A D16RR in the hands of a capable rider, shot in 4K : that video is a blessing. Thank you very much. Is the engine sound realistic in the video ? I was expecting a deeper note at idle at least. Cheers
what a bike , a dream
Many times I nearly bought one, but the price at that time 45/50k seemed a lot and I was never quite sold on it, however, 2016 I walked into Ecima and there was the centre stageSL1299 in a glass box, the colour, twin exhausts, those wheels even though I had and still have the bonkers 1199 base I came back and told the wife I just seen the bike I would design, she said buy it then! Yep more money than the Des but that was the one and maybe you should consider that with the 1199SL dream, I still now and again think to buy one but now the price has risen, but better in the bike than in the bank these days! The SL1299 is miserable to ride on the road but every now and again I do, mainly because I know what it can do and it’s frustrating and like the 1199 its always bullying you to do what it want to do but its not for display!
My neighbor bought one new and would take it on our 5-6 hour Sunday blasts, traded it in for the whatever next newest Ducati was at the time, i believe it had close to 20,000 road miles on it and only 1 minor recall, he had the termi exhaust that cost god knows what and made the sexiest noise on full boil, wish i had a go on it
My dad owns #401 and he's got maybe 6000km on it. As mentioned in the video, it now sits inside his house on display. Also, hearing this bike in person does not compare in the slightest to hearing it in a video - it's just so loud and angry.
Lovely series. I'd love to hear your opinion after riding a moto guzzi MGS-01
Slick machine
Yum..... just yum.....
Chris, please do a 999R if you get the chance.
We’ll see what they have for us next time.
@@BikeWorldTVshow Get in!
Keep up the good work mate!👊🏾
R1M is amazing but Desmo RR is absolutely gorgeous
wow i love it awesome amazing fantastic
Hasn’t started yet. Bit eager there😂😂
@@twozup1098 i love this bike bro is amazing ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
@@yiannishayabusaofficial Yeah. You do get very excited over a photograph eh. 👍🏼
Here you go
ruclips.net/video/bKEovEgodaA/видео.html
Something as close to the motogp version would be the RC213V-S. It would be amazing if you guys could sort one out.
was waiting for this one such a shame you didnt show much footage,or get the bike over on its side as i saw the tyres were pretty untouched ,love to see more on this if you could
Ditto, but one of the problems with these is that the 16" rear tyres are incredibly hard to get hold of, so that means rubber well past its sell-by date. Pushed a couple of times and got a sharp warning each time so I opted for the option that didn't end up with £70k in a hedge!
im lucky to own one and ive got 19000 km on it every thing you said is true but it took me 2 years to start enjoying it on the road ,you never see 5th and 6th gear , im surprised you didnt talk about how loud it is ,the bike is a full encompassing bike you can never cruze the throttle to quiet it down and you never look at the speedo and you can get a good feel from the suspension it just takes time ,they also chew petrol insanely .
I love how it sounds like a tractor when you start it up and then it sounds brutal on the throttle.
Dealer took $100k deposit for the 4 or so allocated to my country and my office was in the same building at the time. When it finally arrived we were just all in awe...
Chris, always enjoy your channel and lucky bloody you!! No chance of buying one when it came out so I got a second gen ZX12R Ninja that pulled 170HP on the dyno. The operator said it must have been a "Wednesday" engine. Now I joke that it had "biological" traction control and anti-lock brakes. (me) If you did win the lotto and got one, would you really thrash it on track ??
No rider aids, so likely to kill all but the most experienced riders these days (since we’ve had rider aids for over a decade and most, if not all riders ‘lean’ on them, including gp racers) excluding the delusional ones that have convinced themselves that they don’t… or you could just gently cruise on the bike with some light spirited riding, as most owners will unless they haven’t yet taken it ‘out the box’. It isn’t forgiving in any way, so pretty ‘hairy’ too! Looks fab and if you can hear past the noisy rattly clutch it doesn’t sound bad either. Possibly a classic of the future (since most people are already “gushing” over it with their rose tinted views and opinions, but won’t (and hasn’t) appreciated like property. The RC213V-S has, on the other hand made a very appreciable difference. The real solid investments are still in the old ‘Old’ classics.
Rc213-s is number one for me over this.
A local guy (RIP) had/has three of them. One of them did regular track days and he'd let (trusted) friends ride it.
I wonder if it needed an ecu flash, a tune up on the dyno etc .. haha!
My absolute dream bike , even above a 916 or early F4
Was it a previous bike world that stripped and rebuilt one ? The guy that did the mechanics was excellent humble but knew his stuff .
I just look at it with its dolphin face saying I won’t hurt you ,,,, no I’ll eat you alive . I don’t do the lotto , maybe I should!
Same Bike World, but with John presenting and Dan on the spanners, legends the pair of em.
I have ridden one of these back then and feeling was like the bike tells you I don’t want you to ride me I will deside if you are good enough for me …. And then when you think you have peace then here comes war again…
