Best of the Best for TomKat - again.

The very first Desmosedici RR production model will be taken home by Tom Cruise, for something close to $73,000 USD. As a new (and fiercely proud), Ducatista, this gives me one reason to (*yikes*) envy Tom Cruise.

While I try to reconcile my torn loyalties after the company lost Loris Capirossi on thier Moto GP team, now I have to picture Tom's little happy dance.

"The RR derives from the Ducati Corse Grand Prix racing Desmosedici GP6,
the same bike with which Loris Capirossi and Sete Gibernau competed
with in the 2006 MotoGP World Championship. With a power output of 200 HP* at 13,800 rpm and a torque of 11.8 kgm*
at 10,500 rpm, the new D16RR engine follows the guidelines laid down by
the Ducati Corse GP engine" - http://www.ducati.com/en/bikes/my2008/FamilyPage.jhtml?family=DesmosediciRR
