Desmosedici RR specialists in London

The Desmosedici RR was the first road bike sold as a true replica of a MotoGP machine. Ducati built it in limited numbers from 2007, with a V4 engine derived from its GP racer, and most surviving bikes have covered very few miles.

That brings its own needs. A bike that spends most of its life in a garage still needs fluids, battery care and a careful recommission before it's ridden. When it does come out, it should be right. We'll look after yours the same way, whether it's ridden every summer or kept as part of a collection.

Recommissioning after storage

Fresh fluids, battery, fuel system and tyres checked for age, and a careful start-up before it goes back on the road. Our recommissioning guide explains what's involved.

Servicing by time as well as miles

Low-mileage bikes still age. Fluids, seals and tyres go off whether or not the bike is ridden, so we service by date as well as distance.

Kept original

Originality is part of the value. We use genuine parts and keep the bike as Ducati built it, unless you ask otherwise.

Desmosedici RR questions

How many Desmosedici RRs were made?

About 1,500, built from 2007.

My Desmosedici RR has been stored for years. Can I just ride it?

No. After long storage, fuel, fluids, battery and tyres all need attention before it's safe and reliable to ride. Bring it in, or arrange transport, and we'll recommission it properly.

Do you service other limited-edition Ducatis?

Yes, including Superleggeras and other special editions. Call us to talk about yours.
