Lamb Chop Rides yeah agree, I remember when that came out and it was mega bucks, like £40/50k. Someone had more money than sense. Such a shame. Would you or I leave a Ducati V4 Speciale or 1299 aniversario laying about collecting shit. Ffs who was the guy??
I want to see that episode right now! The desmo is a dream bike for sure. If I had one in my garage I would first of all be scared shitless to ride it, and secondly I wouldn't stop staring at it.
reminds me of when i was 18, i used to go to the ducati dealer every week just to see this beauty.. the pricetag was just insane, there is not a big chance i will ever have this much money to spend on a bike. one day she was gone and it was the last time i've seen a desmo RR in real life and it propably will stay like that for a long time
The backstory on the unfinished project bike that ended with a new project bike was rather silly. It was a little like "i ordered a small pizza and could not eat it all, so my solution was to order another pizza only this time make it an extra large"
yes. his solution was to get another project bike. like when you get stuck you do something else instead because it was too hard. who will think this project goes well?
Old tech and little like the actual GP bike but still, what a bike. Seeing one of the heads off is a magical experience. Real engineering beauty. Nice job and what a project. They also get used. Two wheels only, the best bike mag there was. The first edition was epic. Shame it closed.
I rode a Desmo on the road and thought it was the worst bike I have ever ridden on the road... it’s not a road bike that’s for sure. Now, on the track thats probably a very different story and a friend of mine has one and he says the same thing. Beautiful to look at, and if you have the monies, then fair play to you. 👍
John Hogan everything, up to about 8 years ago. I was a motorcycle technician for 16 years. At that time, the Ducati 1098R was a lovely bike to ride. If only I could afford one. “🤔 dream on” As well as the CBR1000 was nice round the corners. And the Suzuki SV650, with the balance of the lighter 650 engine compared the 1000 engine. Once again nice and easy to ride. But, now 8years later, and the advancement of all the models, and the cost of them now, wow. Hitting home to me, now, I listen to the guys who ride them for a living and the feedback. I feel customers should definitely get a test ride before they purchase, thou. With the cost of 20k bikes, crazy. And in the Desmo defence, if ridden on a fast road, then once again will probably be much better. At that time I was stuck in a major city. But, you would think the 1098R would be a handful in the city and it wasn’t. 😳👍🏽
I met a bloke on one about 5 years ago in Glossop, he was out for a blast over the snake pass. Said he’d been on track with it in Spain and crashed/repaired it. This is or was my dream bike.
Very cool. After reading ducati forums about the minefield of reliability and maintenance issues these bikes had, definitely make sure you check the timing gear fracturing issue.
pointless story: My area code is (425) Washington State. The first time I saw a Desmo was in the 425. There is a dealership in the 425 that has one on display.
Deep pocket project bike. Can’t wait this bike is the nuts! Such a shame someone has let it get like that and makes you think how many other quality bikes are rotting away
Be good to check its had all the recalls done. Will need clearances checked and a good going over. Looks like a bit of a coolant leak too at the bottom of the waterpump. Look forward to seeing and hearing it start up
Sadly mine munched up a number of valves at 12,000 kms. Was lucky enough to own for 2.5 years, did a few track days at Phillip Island. Lots of fun to ride. Wish I still had it in the garage
Oh yes. Give us ALL the NSFW details and dirrrrrty little secrets such a fine Italian lady tries to hide from us... (Seriously, really excitedabout this one!)
Rule Number 1: Only ONE project at a time! Until it is finished. Rule 2 to 10: See Rule 1 Not that I follow this rule, I just know it is right and would simplify my life enormously 😃
Couldn't be bothered to finish a fairly simple project so thought it would be a good idea to start a more technical new project. Yeah that makes perfect sense. What you going to do next when you can't be arsed with this one?
such a beautiful bike - even now 10 years old it doesn't look old, I always wanted one - and still do ! good luck with this one - swap it for one of my bikes when its done ?!!? ;-)
As a desmo owner it’s soul destroying to see one in this state. Obviously someone with more money than sense. I get a bit of stick for nor riding mine more often but I get to look at it everyday and start it occasionally. Nothing sounds like a desmo.
Cool but lets be honest. In 2006 Honda smashed these machines (and by some measure Yamaha too). Awesome? Not so much. Eh, it's the rider, not the machine. Ducati only wins when they have a dominate rider so far above that could win on any bike, despite the Ducati shortcomings. They mostly lose.
i can see rusty rivets and washers on this masterpiece!! it's a disgrace! previous owner should get whopping. even if i was laying on my deathbed, id take care of it!
Crazy how a company could be proud of number five of 1500 I have a 21 fire blade arguably a better bike than this in the United States they brought 50 in for retail just 50 that’s it do the numbers
What to do when a project doesn't excite anymore? Get another one! You are one of us man. One of us.
Can't wait. Couldn't have picked a better bike. It's like clickbait... without the bait just pure reward.
I still have my 916, and baby it like I did when it was new. Gotta love these. Great company.
Who buys a Desmo and let's it rott like that?? Don't understand...
Exactly my thinking. If I ever owned one I would take care of it like it were a toddler.
Lamb Chop Rides yeah agree, I remember when that came out and it was mega bucks, like £40/50k. Someone had more money than sense. Such a shame. Would you or I leave a Ducati V4 Speciale or 1299 aniversario laying about collecting shit. Ffs who was the guy??
Maybe they got injured or it was passed over to someone else. Who knows? All I know is this is going to be such a treat to watch :)
No money ?
There is a valid reason.

I did the same thing when the 851 came out, I would go to the dealer almost every week and just sit on it for a few minutes.
Looking forward to this series. Fantastic bike to pick for the project.

Its been a dream for 10+ years to own one of these. So excited to see this series!
Best bespoke bike ever designed and built !!
Now that is a project bike! Amazing. This is my favorite bike of all time. Someday I will own one. Great project guys
I do love a bike build series!!

Desmosedici RR is the greatest sounding Ducati ever built.
That bike has only got better with age. Also, with euro 5 and beyond, will never see anything like it again. A modern icon.
Absolutely bonkers bike! You guys have taste, can't argue with that 👍👍
Cheers, lots of work ahead though.
@@BikeWorldTVshow just do your best and try to finish this one.😋 She deserves it!
Can't wait to see this on the road!
I'll be watching this series with a keen interest
Life's all about those bukshee summer days 💪🏼😎
YES! Great video.
Cheers

Craig Barker Neo the worst bike you’ve ever ridden on the road? What else have you ridden?

Great project, looking forward to the upcoming videos

Thanks for the info.
can't wait to see the upcoming episodes
I don't even ride, but I had to thumbs up and sub for this type of content!
Thanks Dan!
Nice! Looking forward to the next one....👍
Its a work of italian art what a bike what a bike love it
pointless story: My area code is (425) Washington State. The first time I saw a Desmo was in the 425. There is a dealership in the 425 that has one on display.
its destiny, you have to buy it
Andrew Carpenter Spooky😱
Apart from the awesome project , Dan has the right cheek of Don Vito Corleone
Who the hell buys a Desmo and claims a 'modest budget'?!
Bill Gates?
Deep pocket project bike. Can’t wait this bike is the nuts! Such a shame someone has let it get like that and makes you think how many other quality bikes are rotting away

Simey2wheels good point mate, thanks for the recall reminder.
Dying to know how on earth you found this bike and what it cost you to buy it!!!!!
Very much looking forward to seeing this one unfold
Sadly mine munched up a number of valves at 12,000 kms. Was lucky enough to own for 2.5 years, did a few track days at Phillip Island. Lots of fun to ride. Wish I still had it in the garage
YES !!! This is going to be awesome...
Someone definitely rode that good and hard.
Brilliant choice.
Can not wait for this👌👍
Anyone else love the look of it half faired?
Oh yes. Give us ALL the NSFW details and dirrrrrty little secrets such a fine Italian lady tries to hide from us... (Seriously, really excitedabout this one!)

Steven Dolman Chill out Steven, we’re not done with the other project.
you forgot to mention...project Bikes Takes Loads of Money too
The mechanic look likes Ryan Reynolds so much!!!
Can't wait!
My all time favourite bike and someone allows it to get in this condition! Probably still worth more than £25k in this condition
Time effort and MONEY!!!
Ps I love that bullsheet "RADIAL" brakes line. What part of them is radial anymore so than any other disk brake?
Dream bike
WTF...Somebody without an heart (and a brain...) could destroy a piece of art like that...makes me cry!...
In the latest vid, the owner died and the bike was then in storage for 8 years while the probate on his estate got sorted out.
such a beautiful bike - even now 10 years old it doesn't look old, I always wanted one - and still do !
good luck with this one - swap it for one of my bikes when its done ?!!? ;-)
What have you got then?
R1M, RSV4RF, KTM250xc :-) but trying to make some more room in the garage !!!
always room for more toys !
Always!
When you get it running you should do an old vs new feature with a Ducati V4S
- Funny enough my Brother has one ;-)
Don't suppose you still have the front fairing for the 1098 Troy Bayliss per chance?....if you have could it be for sale?
Ta

cirian75 that put a different complexion on things then 🤭
Yum! All that EU rust
Pains me to see the state of that amazing bike, some people arent worthy
mark675 check out episode 2 to find out more.
@@BikeWorldTVshow ill go have a look :)
Ah i understand now, apologies 👍🏼
mark675 no worries
Wow the guy with hair sounds like he could be Scott Reddings brother.
Looking forward to this but whoever had this bike needs a kick in the bollocks.👍
But are you going to put a MANBAG on it like you did on the XSR900?
Where else would John keep his sandwiches.
Do you have a buyer in mind? Gorgeous project bike!!!
Shame the state it's in for such a special bike. Hope you got a good deal on it!
Was this bike kept outside?? The rust! 😲
Leave it to Ducati to build and sell an 80k bike like the D16 and use regular iron pins for the number plate.......
Any further updates from very last one, chaps ?
A “Modest”budget? A $70,000 superbike? You guys must be independently wealthy!
it doesn't help to have a playlist if you don't add the new videos to it
Umm, I've heard this before... Time to own it.
Was this bike left in a barn?
carlo fraiia it was left in a very damp garage.
Spill the beans what did you pay for it?....
lee H probably alot
Did you guys buy the desmosedici tool kit?
It would be interesting to know how much $.??...AND what a sad state she bE IN 😢
Who the feck would leave that to rot away
Why care about revealing the bike when it's in the title what it is?
Lol
Smart Ass!
Hang on rewind a bit that’s not the first production bike to have magnesium wheels the Aprilia rsv sp had the way make in 1999
I wonder what their definition of a modest budget is?
Right? I'll drop 40k on this kind of guy lol.
425/1501
Proper bike to work on! Who was a moron who let it gone into this sorry state?
latest vid, the owner died and the bike was then in storage for 8 years while the probate on his estate got sorted out.
corrosion looks a bit sad
It ought to be criminal to let that machine wither away in a barn somewhere.
In the latest vid, the owner died and the bike was then in storage for 8 years while the probate on his estate got sorted out.
45 grand?
There is nothing to re-build, its done.
A 'modest budget' of 25-30000€ .
Still waiting for the 3rd episode of shit bike rebuild so I won't be holding my breath that this sees the finish line.
Capirossi and Bayliss. Not Gibernau
If its based on the 06 bike like he said then bayliss was busy back in wsbk on the 999 wasn't he?
When is the next episode
Johan Inpattaya very soon Johan, hope to be shooting this week.
Whaaaaat
Hahaha why cover it and do a reveal if the bike is going to be in the title... lol
So how much was it? Oh & who the fuck is Alice :)
Cool but lets be honest. In 2006 Honda smashed these machines (and by some measure Yamaha too). Awesome? Not so much. Eh, it's the rider, not the machine. Ducati only wins when they have a dominate rider so far above that could win on any bike, despite the Ducati shortcomings. They mostly lose.
wait what ?
What?
i can see rusty rivets and washers on this masterpiece!! it's a disgrace! previous owner should get whopping. even if i was laying on my deathbed, id take care of it!
News flash, the owner died over 8 years ago and bike was stuck in probate.
no excuses, i would come back as ghost changing oil and polish that!!
Ducati should be ashamed using steel washers on a 50 000 € bike.Fucking ridic.
Crazy how a company could be proud of number five of 1500 I have a 21 fire blade arguably a better bike than this in the United States they brought 50 in for retail just 50 that’s it do the numbers
Thats a shit place to live you cant ride that much
Rare but ugly
