Wrecked Ducati Desmosedici RR to be Auctioned | Motorcycle.com News Blog

Quote:
For sale to highest bidder: slightly used 2008 Ducati Desmosedici RR street-legal MotoGP replica.

Okay, maybe “slightly used” is a bit misleading. This Ducati Desmosedici RR (one of only 1,500 produced) lost a battle with physics and currently sits in pieces at Insurance Auto Auctions’ Fremont, Calif., branch. The auction hasn’t actually started yet as it awaits certification. We’re guessing it will be sold “as is”.

As seen in the pictures below, this Desmosedici has seen better days, with bent Ohlins fork tubes, dangling brake disc and heavily damaged fairing.

How many miles does it have? They’ll let you know once they find the odometer.
Couple of big round headlights, a set of café drop bars, a few front end bits, and you’ve got the baddest street fighter evah!

Oh. Damn. That'd be one hell of an expensive street fighter.
