Tom Cruise is the first person to receive Ducati’s new $72,500 Desmosedici RR superbike. The red and white motorcycle is a Moto GP Racing replica fitted with lightweight titanium, magnesium, and carbon fiber parts and tops out at 200 mph. Only 1,500 of the superbikes will be made.
Cruise is expected to receive delivery of the bike sometime this week. In a statement Chief of Cupertino-based Ducati North America Michael Lock said, “We are delighted to be able to deliver the world’s first production unit here in the USA to Tom Cruise, who is a well-known Ducati enthusiast.”
