Ducati Once Made A MotoGP Bike For The Road And You Can Buy One For £50k

The Desmosedici RR is the closest we've ever come to a road-going MotoGP bike. Predictably, they're not cheap to pick up used

I can't imagine ever buying one , or even wanting one .... what would be the point ?
But I did enjoy watching this series of restoration vids -

I don't think they ever mentioned the purchase price , or how much time and money they chucked at it ....

"No road bike had come as close to a Grand Prix machine before this bike, and none have since."

Anymore?

iirc they acquired the bike from the widow of the owner, it had been sitting stationary for years. Reading between the lines they took the bike FOC, restored it as a programme/project for their channel, then it was sold and they recovered their costs with the balance going back to the owner’s widow. Note that’s all hearsay though and not from the horse’s mouth.

think it went back to the family

Did they sell it or did they hang on to it? Is/was it, perchance, one of the ones that have been through the Bike Specialists over the last year or so? It’s non if my business, just curious.
