Amazing bike....

Congrats.

The SL is a nice bike, but a Desmo is far more exclusive! :)

Far more exclusive? There were at least 1 500 Desmos built and sold according to my knowledge and only (for now) 500 SL's. :p

WOW amazing looking bike. Great find.... Damn, I hate you, as you make me want one now!

Damn you.....:D
 
Well done Kope. Nice looking machine. Now I am really jealous. I bet you surprise us with an SL next.

cheers
 
There are very few that can afford to keep and actually ride one of those...that's the biggest advantage I see for spending comparable money on an SL.

That being said....I'd want both if money wasn't an issue (and my five kids didn't need to go to college).
 
Btw...awesome bike. It's one I am keenly interested in acquiring at some point. I think I need to up my mechanic skills to afford to ride it though.
 
i know the front is the full ¨WP factory forks from Johnny Rea , carrying accosato billet monoblocs ... there is almost nothing stock on the bike as it was assembled from zero. It has a special Verlecchi frame on which i will learn more soon...

the more i look at it , the more i like it...

from what i hear, the engines have proven to be pritty reliable... will dyno her asap.. and then hope she doesn't come out at 170 or something as i know 2 that do 202 ... taking her up 30 bhp won't come cheap... :)

Are you going to make this one a race bike too ?
 
So this is a desmosedici in Rossi colors? First look, i assumed you got hands on a real GP bike :)

At the end of the day, the SL is still a 1199, very optimized 1199 but still a 1199 (at least design wise and concept).

The Desmo may have 1500 units, but it has a V4 engine.

With time, money and patient you can turn a 1199 into a SL but you will never turn a SL into a Desmo.
