Italian Quality and Style
Desmosedici is a
compound word made from the Italian for sixteen, "sedici" and the name
of Ducati"s trademark desmodromic valve design. The DOHC 16 V4 engine is
composed of two 90 degree L twin components held together in a tubular
steel truss-frame, with swing arm and rear shock pivots directly
attached to engine in a truly original fashion. The sleek and powerful
bike was piloted in its debut 2003 MotoGP season by L. Capirossi, former
125 and 250cc class title holder, and World Superbike Champion T.
Bayliss. The GP4 really showed its stuff during its 2003 debut season,
taking 3rd place at Suzuka and winning 1st at Catalunya. Maintaining the
same basic structure in 2004, Ducati brushed up everything from the
engine to the body to make an even higher performance superbike. While
the Desmosedici GP4 had a difficult first half of the season, it began
to show results towards the end, with L. Capirossi winning 3rd place in
round 15. T. Bayliss also took 3rd in the final round, ending Ducati"s
season on a high-note, and promising further excitement still to come!
