Desmosedici rr first ride out in 2 years

New front tyre fitted. What a difference. Better handling just rock solid suspension. That's it for another 2 years

[@spencersmith8011]

My uncle had one of these when I was a kid. The most ultimate bike ever made for the road - looks, sound, design. Absolute killer. I remember the sound of it when he’d fly by on the track, it was insane.

[@RileyMitchell01]

Absolutely underrated comment 😂

[@waterbnb7204]

I prefer this bike but with 899/959 fairings

[@shanemcredmond9751]

The comments complaining about not riding the bike for 2 years crack me up. The bike is worth about 60g for Christ sake, its not a fazer 600.

[@richardprosser5026]

Shane McRedmond yeah you learn to ignore the muppets on here. My answer is if you wanna give me 75 k for the bike then they can ride it every day come rain or shine. Also having spoken to a desmo rider who had just had his 7.5 k service at a cost of over 5 k I’ll keep mine at low mileage thanks very much.

[@pufifa]

Sorry but what's the point of having it then? I mean if you spent 60grand for it, you got to have 5g's for the service as well? I'm not hating but If I sound like a muppet on here, then so be it. I squeezed that like and hope for more vids. Peace and good luck

[@lsswappedcessna]

So? Some modern full-size SUVs are worth much more than $60,000 off the lot. my car's an all-original classic that's probably worth at least $30,000 to the right person, such as a collector of unusual torque converters that can modify the pitch of the stator vanes for extra output at high RPM/limit crawl speed at low RPM (Seriously, GM, if you had ironed out the slushiness of the shifting, Variable Vane torque converters could've been really good and may have even come into the 21st century!) and transmissions that only had two forward gears, yet I still daily drive it. There's nothing wrong with driving an expensive bike more often, though I definitely understand not wanting some jealous, sisterfucking criminal to steal or deface your whip.

[@Gautam454]

With all due respect my friend you clearly have the money to ride it more often than once every 2 years, so why not do that and enjoy it?

Its cuz he doesnt want anyone to get out a driveway and hit the bike with a car :)

[@inavag3038]

the best part is when he slows down even more as he passes the horses. he just lets the bike roll, with no accelaration, so he doesnt scare the horses. and they even thank him. awesome

[@filamrider]

Just bought an 08 Desmo rr had gone up immensely in price but wow it's so much worth it, come with spare exhaust the sportier is what makes this sound. Thank you sir Richard Prosser for the advice I went back and got the spare exhaust that makes this rumble, other bike riders would follow me to my destination and take pictures, ask questions, and ask to rev the engine so they can record the sound which they say it's one of a kind, I myself not gonna lie I go in my garage turn it on just to hear it and it gives me smile. This exact video started it all.Thank you Richard Prosser. A very down to earth guy would respond to question immediately.

[@kingcrumpet]

Crying shame to only ride this weapon every 2 years. Life's way too short for that shit and bikes are meant to be enjoyed!

[@richardprosser5026]

kingcrumpet very true words. but I have better bikes for road riding. the sound of this is awesome but suspension setup is track biased so not the most comfortable. also tyres seem like they are gonna be hard to get as apparently they've stopped making them. alternative is to buy new wheels at 3.5k. don't fancy that

[@richardprosser5026]

Well then I won't tell you I've ordered a norton v4 ss then 😉

[@kingcrumpet]

Richard Prosser Well actually you just did and I'm not happy about it! 😉 Jokes aside, congratulations! I was lucky enough to watch Dave Johnson place 7th on the Norton sg5 in last year's superbike race at the Isle of Man. The sound!! Needless to say I've loved the Norton V4 ever since! Anyway I have a Yamaha wr250r and a Kawasaki zx6r, so there! 😂

[@richardprosser5026]

kingcrumpet funnily enuf I've just read that on norton s website. looks like they are gonna run the aprila engine this year and the norton engine in 2018. think Steve plater is putting the new engine through its paces. Can't wait for this year's TT

[@kingcrumpet]

Richard Prosser Oh that's interesting. Nothing wrong with the aprilia engine while they get the norton V4 up to speed. Heard Josh Brooks is racing this year. That guy is FAST! Shame I can't get over there this year to cheer on my fellow aussies (and Guy!). Hope they stick around for 2018. Planning another trip then!

[@montha123]

Love the sound from these , beautiful bike , seen 2 superleggeras at the tt this year great sound from them too , I have a few bikes that I only ride a few times a year also 86 Suzuki gsxr 750 & 93 Honda fireblade as they are getting rare now in mint condition ,I have other bikes for daily use when I want , your bike will rise in value so u do right to mind it , you will always get tyres for it no problem but where are the Ducati dealers going with a 5 k service bill now come on that's way too extreme for any service on any bike , my friend has a Ferrari & the bill is half that , hope to see you at the tt some day as that's where people would really love to see & appreciate it / cheers from Ireland

Great to see Richard, at 50k this bike is still an absolute bargain, it would have cost Ducati much more to prove they can make such a machine for the road, remember you are so privileged to have owned and used this bike, out of all the billions of people in the world only 1500 were built and Roland sands fucked one of them up without thinking about it too long, enjoy it young man and your kids will have a pension out of out one day. all the best.

Billy Bigboy . I've put a deposit down on the new norton rr. But gonna see if I can upgrade to the ss. Only 200 to be made and they've all gone. Few dealers will get them. Depends whether I can get zero interest for 3 years. Should be a good investment
