Ducati Desmosedici RR Photos

Ducati Desmosedici RR

Ducati took a lot of photos at the track when the new Desmosedici RR was introduced to the public so we thought we would share a few more. The closeup of the vertical exhaust exit is interesting.

    Is this the 2nd time in Ducatis history that they have manufactured a 4 cylinder for the street ?

    there was the apollo, a prototype from the 60’s. couldn’t build it, because no tyre would take the weight and torque. word has it that it was a cruiser/standard built for highway patrol work, no sporting pretentions beyond having stupid levels of horsepower (kinda like a v-max)

    just found this to reference it if you’re interested, hoyt…. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/flashback/122_0313_ducati_apollo/

    are these photos from the press area? I can’t find any new shots, and I didn’t see these when it was first launched… can you divulge your sources on this one? I’d like some more detail shots, esp of a bodywork-free bike…

    Don’t have any bodywork free photos yet, but we’ll get them up as soon as we do.

    The top section of this bike looks an awful lot like a Britten to me. The tank into the upper fairing especially so. The tail section has some similarities, but I’m sure many of this class of bike would. JMHO

    thanks Aaron….I forgot the Apollo was only a prototype

  7. hoyt Says:

    pictures of the frame would be great….what is going on with the triple trees and the steering head of the frame? It looks like there is some type of an offset.

  8. aaron Says:

    looks like the variable rake steering head ducati uses. more interesting, the headstock looks as if it may be bolted in - something I would like to try in the supermono project if I decide to go all unconventional…

    Is this Ducati’s crack at making an NR750?
