End of Year Desmosedici RR Rumors

According to the rumor mill Ducati has recently given dealers an update on the status of the Desmosedici RR. This update claims that 1,000 orders for Desmosedici RR have been taken with production tentatively scheduled to begin in July 2007. 999R owners make up nearly half of the pre-orders and will receive their bikes before the end of 2007. The remaining folks who placed an order will see their Moto GP derived bikes arrive during the first half of ’08. Finally, pricing for all new Desmosedici orders has very quietly gone up five thousand Euros.

To put the success of the Desmosedici pre-orders in perspective, Modena automotive neighbor Lamborghini has sold roughly 1,500 of their volume leader Gallardo for each of the last two years.
