This is the life, this is my dream....





Is it the rider or the bike? It is every bikers dream to own one of the world's most expensive and most reputated bike.

The awesome bike is packed with a L-twin Testastretta Evoluzione engine. The Evoluzione features a reduction in the angle between intake and exhaust valves allowing highly efficient, straight intake ducts and newly shaped combustion chambers that contain racing size ‘R’ valves (42mm inlet, 34mm exhaust), operated by radical ‘R’ derived camshafts. this L-Twin cylinder, 4 valve per cylinder Desmodromic, liquid cooled delivers 160hp, 119.3kw@9750rpm with a torque at 12.5kgm@8000rpm.

Most 4-stroke engines depends on simple springs for valve closure. As the rpm of the engine increases, time taken for the springs to close the valve is critical. Failure of the valve to follow the exact profile of the camshaft results in loss of performance. The Desmodromic valve system of the ducati eliminates the spring and the valve is closed mechanically thus ensuring precise valve timing at all engine speeds.

This bike is one of it's kind in the world. More pictures of this beast.....
