Can't believe no one has brought this one up yet. Ducati annouced the Desmosedici RR today. This thing is sex on two wheels. You can pre-order one now. Final retail price is $65k.

thats effing ridiculous.  how can they charge that much?

Because it's the closest thing you will ever get at this point to owning a MotoGP bike and those cost way more than $65k.

65k!?!?!?!?  

But it *is* purdy!

See... lemme give you all an Italian Lesson.




Ducati is Italian for "Expensive"

Desmosedici is Italian for "Explotation"

However, if you combine the two words, it means something else,

Ducati Desmosedici means "Stupid Americans Don't Know We Sell These for 1/2 that price in Italy"

that last line says it all 

Seems a lot of things translate to "Stupid Americans..."
