A website called Robotpig.net, a self described portal for engineering and technology, has posted a lengthy technical breakdown of the differences between the 990cc Desmosedici GP6 race bike and the now sold out Desmosedici 16RR street bike which you can actually take home and park in your garage.

Ducati presented a direct descendant of its MotoGP bike, the Desmosedici RR. This commercial version looks very similar with the race bike and it shares the same technology and technical background. Although the engine, the frame, the suspension and other major components appear similar between the two bikes there are some key differences. This article is based in data and images provided by Ducati. Photos are from the official Ducati press kit and various press releases and the schemes are from robotpig.net.
