presentation of the DESMOSEDICI 1000 RR edition G8 2009
one model, one bike. The D 16 RR is already one of the most fabulous models in Ducati production... and in world production. No one had offered a true MotoGp for the road before it. An ambassador for motorcycle racing at the highest level, the Desmosedici is now the spokesperson for the famous G8 international summit. Why does this D 16 RR bear the name of the gathering of the world's richest countries?
because this exceptional model is accompanying the 2009 edition of the G8 summit, which is being held in the Abruzzo region of Italy, which was hit by an earthquake in April 2009. Decorated in accordance with the wishes of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, the only V4-powered Ducati bears the G8 logo as its racing number, and the flags of the countries taking part in the summit on the sides of its bubble.
a unique example, the Desmosedici G8 will be on display in the building reserved for representatives of this highly political meeting. Then it's off to Milan, where it will once again be in the spotlight during the EICMA show. There, it will be auctioned off, and we hope, for once, that the sum offered will be insane - because the money will go to the victims of the earthquake in the Aquila region.
