Slightly off topic but, why doest ducati run the desmosedici in WSBK?
its a homologated bike isnt it? its a 4 cyl under 1000ccs. is it underpowered for WSBK (hard to beleive for a bike that makes about 200hp in street trim). just curious.
I will take the brunette withe the read highlights.
I think cost to develop would be the big killer?Quote:

Lot of reasons but here's one. The 1098R is faster around a racetrack than the Desmo.Quote:

WSBK runs an 1198 dont they.
i guess i would have to check lap times. its hard to believe that a premier class bike (ducati no less) is slower around a track than a WSBK bike

Doesn't surprise me in the least. The Desmosedici is a GP inspired machine. It's competent, but with 0 of them being raced... and the bike being reworked from it's GP parent to be streetable... I can easily see a dialed in WSBK machine blowing it's doors off in lap times.Quote:

You could put a desmo back to gp specs and still be wsbk legal though.
i mean its not like you just tape up the headlights and race it. the desmo is an awesome starting point. 90% of the work is done for you. its not like biaggis bike is the same thing you buy at the dealer. its practically no holds barred out there
You're assuming that the Desmo is really that close to the GP machine, I don't think it is. Otherwise I think a privateer would have already done so if it was that simple/cost effective.Quote:

back to the topic :D, the girls are smoking!!!(even with those cheap boob jobs)
Yes, it meets the homoligization(sp?) requirement as defined by WSBK.Quote:

With the price tag of the desmo that could be the deterrant.Quote:

so out of curiosity i checked lap times
Valencia/wsbk/2010- fastest race lap 1:34.632 by biaggi (3rd)
winner was haga on 1098 (weird, thought it would be 1198) best lap was 1:35.070
valencia/moto gp/2006- best lap 1:33.3 by winner rossi. fastest duc was capirossi in 4th with a 1:33.4
Is it wrong that I might want the bike as much as the girls????
Another reason to love Ducati.
