Problem with the DesmoRR is they made too many of them. They pop up on eBay quite often and sell for about half their original price. But the DesmoRR is a real-deal exotic. A motogp bike with lights. In 20 years I could see them being a $100k bike.

I rather have new DesmoRR that will come out in few years with this new V4. :cool::D

esp considering they sold for the same amount as a 1299 SL

Lol they didn't make too many only 1500 out there, it’s a economy problem.

Ours in aus still hold their value because the economy is slowly ticking over due to chinese investment and mining.

Problem is when they were made the economy was booming banks were handing money out to anyone and everyone, now the world economy is f*cked.

Also from my dealer they ride like ...., hot and vibrate like crazy.

The new Motogp V4 that surely will come out would be alot more refined.

One just sold locally for $20k. Had around 7500 miles on it with full Akra and a few other trinkets.

I'll never sell mine as it would be a huge loss of fun tickets.

If one here ever got to 20K I would buy it in a heartbeat

V4 much better bike than 1299.
Plus runs cooler which is a major plus but still going to get warm/ hot at times. HP cost money and makes heat.
Aniverseriario is very cool it will be tough to get the right money for it on your own. Probally best bet if you are going to let it go would be your dealers sales floor on consignment.

1299SL is listed at $80k, the D16RR sold for $65k for initial buyers (pre-orders 2yrs ahead of time) and $72k for "late comers" - the bottom fell out on them once deliveries started (2008) as the stock market recoiled huge, and some were re-sold as original depositors couldn't finish the purchase - i saw 1 or 2 sell in the 50's new

i sold mine after 23k+ miles, and would never have considered holding on to it for increased resale value - i'm not in the collector world, and mileage kills that aspect totally...riding tends to be the priority when you've got one in the garage ;)

yea and Ducati were supposed to only make a small number i think it was 500 for the original run and then they screwed everyone over and produced 1500 of them.

And as we know 1500 for a bike is not that limited i know some zero mileage ones sold for 90k recently but they were still in the crate, and i think they are trading around the 50Kish mark now with people asking $60-$65.

I'm glad you put some mileage on yours i have a couple of friends who had them back in the day and sold them as they thought they were terrible on the track and the 1098R was a better bike but they are so so pretty i've some close to pulling the trigger on one a few times but i just don't ride on the street so it would just sit around gathering dust.
 
I bought my D16RR new and paid the discounted price rode it regularly on the track and sold it when the 3 year warranty and service was up dropped 20K on it but it was a fun $20,000 to spend

thankfully Ducati was very good with the warranty because without the warranty or service maint. plan it came with, it would have been a real test of your love and passion -- the service visits were intense -- full motor tear downs, valves replaced, and # of hours it took to do :eek:

i went thru a list of things, which was to be expected (i guess) - great fun, great bike to street ride, and i'd do it all over again (which in a way i am with the SL) :)

once my 3yrs were up, i just let it go
 
well collectible to me is something that is valuable and sought after and the anniversary while a nice looking bike does not fall into that category it's literally a paint job.

Look at jay leno's collection some are worth big $$$$, some not so much anymore.

I read Jay Leno's take on what is collectible that can worth $$$.

He said, something that is beautiful to look at, technology (innovation, unique, new), and fun to drive (I guess in our case, fun to ride).
 
for me, and i'm sure many others, riding them seems to work pretty good - be it racing, track days, or street riding.... its all good - just looking at them is fun too....usually on cold winter evenings here in the NY area, some scuderia time works real well for good mental health

but not all are collectible some are but not everything.

his F1, Miura etc are all collectible the modern stuff is just stuff he likes to have because he can and flips when and how he wants don't get me wrong they are cool but a 991 turbo is not in the same league as a 73 RS and never will be.

So back to bikes and the anniversary falls into this category and while a cool bike they are two a penny i can go out tomorrow and locate 20 for sale in the US alone there is nothing desirable about it it's not even worth a taking a punt on it as it will be 15k in 3 years time. A super mono or a 888sp5 now thats collectible and people will pay a premium to buy one until the market crashes again but when that happens it will once again appreciate the other bikes just end up being cool bikes but not really worth anything in the grand scheme of things.

Yes have to agree but I do love the Anniversary it's a sweet bike.

But a little like the 996sps Pista I sold.

Guy who bought my 1200 multi saw it in the lounge room when doing the paperwork and had to have it, Both my wife and his rolled their eyes but he went home with it after negations.

Numbered top triple, Tri Colore paint, last of the 996's and only a couple of hundred world wide. Really only worth a bit more for the paint job.

Sad but true, seems to be the latest and greatest rather than limited model variation classics that get the nod from the masses.
 
996 etc weren't the FINAL Ducati twin superbike, the 1299 is - that makes it unique and the FE will no doubt have some collector value.

hahaha Tamburini vs the Fabbro team your joking right?

I have an 1199 because I love it and think it has better ride-ability than a 996 but collectability of an FE? My friend thinks his 998FE will be worth a fortune but I have a dig and tell him it just was a test bed for a 999 engine :)

These final edition or specially painted models are lovely things but 'collector value' I'm not so sure unless it's a 0 mile and is needed to fit into to someones collection.
