’08 Desmosedici D16RR

Ducati Pre-Owned, Pre-Owned Inventory

Fresh off the bench, we are proud to offer this 2008 Desmosedici D16RR.  One of the most iconic, sought after Ducati motorcycles ever produced.  This example presents in near showroom condition aside from wear on the tires.  For a motorcycle produced in 2008 that was actually ridden occasionally, she is incredibly clean and free of cracks, dings, etc.

In 2007, Casey Stoner won his first and Ducati’s first MotoGP World Championship aboard Ducati’s V4 Desmosedici racer. That same year, Ducati decided to produce the most exotic and elite production motorcycle of the last 20 years with the Desmosedici D16RR (or “Race Replica”). Limited to just 1,500 units worldwide, the ultra-exclusive two-wheeler was the closest thing the public had ever seen to a MotoGP bike with headlights for sale.

While the D16RR is often referred to as a “detuned version” of the actual MotoGP bike, it featured an all-new 989cc, 90-degree V4 with gear-driven cams, twin-pulse firing order, Desmo valve actuation, single-piece forged steel crankshaft, and sand-cast aluminum crankcases and cylinder heads. The RR was good for close to 200hp and 85ft-lbs of torque when equipped with the special race ECU and exhaust system which was included with each bike and currently installed on this example.

The first-ever four-cylinder production Ducati, the Desmosedici RR boasted a heap of race-grade hardware. Brakes consisted of Brembo M4 monoblocs with dual four-piston radial-mounting and floating 330mm discs. Ohlins supplied its 43mm gas-pressurized FG353P forks and PRXB mono-shock. The bodywork, heel-guards, fenders, fairing bracket, and subframe are comprised of carbon fiber, while the exhaust’s heat-shield is made form a carbon-ceramic composite.

Ducati’s MotoGP bike for the street also utilizes a steel trellis frame derived from the premier class racer, and even the LCD display was plucked straight off the GP7. The machine rolls on $20K Marchesini forged and machined magnesium wheels wrapped in special Bridgestone rubber developed exclusively for the D16RR. As one would expect on a motorcycle with a $70K+ sticker price in 2007/2008, the fit and finish on the Desmo RR is absolutely exquisite. Each of the 1,500 units was built by hand by a special team and each example bares a numbered plaque.

Ducati Detroit first serviced this example in 2020, where we performed a full service including a complete fuel system flush, coolant flush, oil/filter change, full hydraulic fluid flush, chain service and a new battery.  We also performed 3 outstanding recalls on the bike per Ducati Motor Holidngs.   Upon receiving the motorcycle this Summer, we removed the fairings and performed a full coolant system flush and full safety inspection, which it passed with flying colors.  This motorcycle runs exactly how it was intended to.

We had the ability to research the history of this motorcycle and everything checks out.  All initial recall work was performed by a high level Ducati dealership.  We have additional pictures and videos of the bike on the technician’s bench for serious buyers.
