It goes without saying that Ducati has long been synonymous with racing success. The Italian manufacturer has pretty much set the benchmark, particularly with its Desmosedici race bike, which pioneered the Desmodromic V4 engine which we’re now seeing both on and off the race track.
Truly, the Ducati Desmosedici is largely responsible for the current crop of Ducati V4-powered machines, with many considering it as the holy grail of racing bikes. Some of the world’s greatest racers, including Loris Capirossi and Casey Stoner, piloted this machine to victory. In doing so, they cemented their names, as well as that of Ducati, within the annals of MotoGP history.
