Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: stopintime on May 19, 2009, 04:00:04 PM Ok, what is your deviant plan... fess up! [laugh] My dealer has a "used" one with 6 (six) miles on it. Guess it scared the previous owner ;D (you know about our taxes, right?) Free service for three years, but still ..... US$ 94,000 So, no plans 8) just curious Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: NAKID on May 19, 2009, 04:07:41 PM Wow, they're only $72,500 here brand new...

Any parts available at all? this was over a year ago, but........... my dealer bought one for use as a track bike. no shit. but he was not going to use it until there were parts available. OEM and after market. he said that ducati expected to have parts available for it by 2010 :-\ Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes?

Post by: Drunken Monkey on May 19, 2009, 05:45:10 PM Check out motowheels.
They got gearboxes, bodywork and most importantly carbon wheels (drool) Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: herm on May 19, 2009, 06:38:34 PM BCM? Adam no, tiny little shop in south central oregon 8) Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: Spidey on May 19, 2009, 07:00:40 PM You can add rearsets for track/race. But they cost a bizillion dollars and have VERY limited adjustment.

Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: psycledelic on May 19, 2009, 07:47:16 PM With a bike like that, I would probably spend the money and mod myself. I am thinking an enlargement procedure so that it would look like a rolled up beach towel in my one piece, white Italian leathers. Then I would just lean up against it at the local coffee shop and smile at the ladies.
Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: scott_araujo on May 19, 2009, 09:43:37 PM 'Monster-ize' it! Remove the fairing, tubular bars, and chop off every piece you can!
Scott Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: Drunken Monkey on May 19, 2009, 09:58:23 PM Sorrry, but this comment:
I am thinking an enlargement procedure so that it would look like a rolled up beach towel in my one piece, white Italian leathers. Immediately followed by his comment 'Monster-ize' it! Remove the fairing, tubular bars, and chop off every piece you can! Is just plain disturbing I mean I got the fairing got removed at birth (Jewish dad) but no way am I letting them chop off any more! And I think tubular bars are called a "prince albert" Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: Drunken Monkey on May 19, 2009, 09:59:57 PM And yes, that durbahn build is sick [thumbsup]
Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: pennyrobber on May 19, 2009, 10:24:55 PM I would have a full time model to sit on it when I am not riding the thing.
Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: DucHead on May 20, 2009, 03:21:21 AM There was a D16 at Carolina Motorsports Park on Monday. The rider seemed to have difficulties keeping the front wheel on the ground.
I got passed all day long, but nothing accelerated out of a turn like that D16. It sounds absolutely wicked too. I heard the D16 Termi exhaust is 8000USD. Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: geoffduc on May 20, 2009, 03:52:29 AM I followed one on a ride out from the local ducati store which had had the exhaust replaced by one supplied and fitted by John Hacket [bow_down](i think it was ex moto gp) and boy was the sound awesome, there was a drain pipe sized pipe coming out under the seat and a small pipe exiting at the botom of the right side lower fairing my ears were still ringing two days later [thumbsup]
[coffee] Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: caperix on May 20, 2009, 06:03:58 PM I know one got wrecked at Jennings GP at a US Desmo track day awile back. There used to be a video of it on Youtube. I'm sure the Carbon body work is not cheap, I'd love to see one as a street fighter.
Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: teddy037.2 on May 20, 2009, 07:08:01 PM sheesh, and I fig'd the only mods you'd need for a D16 would be:
starbucks cupholder (CF, of course!) an umbrella girl, who will meet up at EVERY coffee break so you don't have to leave the parking lot it's own facebook page Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: El Matador on May 20, 2009, 10:26:31 PM I heard the D16 Termi exhaust is 8000USD. Yup. It comes with a whole new Carbon Fiber lower fairing.

(I'm kidding!!!) ;) Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: desmoworks on May 24, 2009, 06:40:34 PM The exhaust seems popular (even at almost $9000) we've sold 3 this month [thumbsup]
We have the DP bits listed here: http://www.ducatiperformance.com/ducati-store-desmosedici-c-15_339.html (http://www.ducatiperformance.com/ducati-store-desmosedici-c-15_339.html) Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes?

Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: moto on May 24, 2009, 09:41:08 PM We've sold a lot of race body kits, BST carbon wheels, sliders and carbon pieces.
Most of our D16 customers are tracking them. -M Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes? Post by: stopintime on May 26, 2009, 10:28:36 AM I guess this could bring us a bit closer? A little StreetFighter here and there - 350 lbs and 200 hp - not a bad design from that guy this time?

People who can afford a D16 are not. We've sold a lot of race body kits, BST carbon wheels, sliders and carbon pieces. Most of our D16 customers are tracking them. -M Well the idea that most of the owners are using them properly is certainly refreshing. Title: Re: How does Desmosedici owners mod their bikes?
