A good review of something I've never seen. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/101/2957/Motorcycle-Article/Ducati-Desmosedici-RR-Review.aspx
I got to ride a customer of mine's the day he picked it up from the dealer a couple(3?) years ago. Given the fact it was brand new with only 6km on odometer and I was on public roads , the motor felt strong but now WOW strong. The chassis though felt the most solid and balanced of any bike I've ever ridden. I'm still trying to get him to let me take it to Mission and at least a few laps on a trackday(he has no interest in trackdays). He keeps teasing me with "next year ", I'm gonna keep trying!
