1/12 Minichamps Ducati Desmosedeci Troy Bayliss Moto GP 2004
The Ducati Desmosedici is a 4 stroke V4 engine racing bike made by Ducati for Moto GP racing. The series nomenclature is GP with the two-digit year appended, such as Desmosedici GP10 for 2010. In 2006 Ducati made a short production run of 1,500 street-legal variants, the Desmosedici RR.
Ducati abandoned the Grand Prix racing scene at the start of the 1970s. For many years, the 500 class was essentially a class for two-stroke motorcycles, an engineering technology that was far removed from the four-stroke road-going machines sold by Ducati. Technical rules changed in 2002, giving priority to four-stroke machinery and turning the 500 class of World Road Racing into the MotoGP Championship. This convinced Ducati to make a much-awaited return to the track in the new MotoGP class.
