2009 Ducati Desmosedici Monster Concept

[admin]

Ducati's road-going MotoGP replica, the Desmosedici, is the raciest street-legal machine ever available to the public. Its GP-derived 990cc V-Four motor kicks out around 200 horsepower to the rear wheel, creating a top-end surge of power that inhales run-of-the-mill literbikes.

But behind the Desmosedici's aerodynamic bodywork is a riding position that is kindly referred to as "committed." The less-limber among us would describe its ergos as "torturous."

But what if you could get that gloriously devastating motor in a naked sportbike with upright ergos? Well, the Ducati factory briefly toyed with this fanciful idea, according to European contributor Tor Sagen who commissioned this photo rendering from Italian designer Luc1.

It doesn't look like an 80 thousand dollar machine. Also, who wants 200 HP, traction control, race geometry combined with a body position that doesn't let you use it? The pegs would scrape if you made it comfy.

An 80K monster? no way
An 80K superbike.... only for the very lucky!

I'd take 200hp any day, on any bike.

+1 what a waste. What were they thinking to even contract a designer for such a stupid concept. That wouldn't be any different than putting the 990 into a Harley.
