Here's the screen grab that's got all the interesting bits and pieces. Wow, eh? That's a motorcycle and a half, right there! — Here’s the screen grab that’s got all the interesting bits and pieces. Wow, eh? That’s a motorcycle and a half, right there!

It’s going to be a hugely sexy motorcycle, it’s going to be ultra-limited and it will cost $100,000. It’s going to be dressed like the GP19 MotoGP race bike and it’ll turn the top end of the motorcycle world upside-down.

This is the GP19 MotoGP Ducati. Project 1708 will have livery that looks similar to this. Bibble... — This is the GP19 MotoGP Ducati. Project 1708 will have livery that looks similar to this. Bibble…

An image leaked onto the internet and picked up by the GPONE website – which is claimed to be an official Ducati document – shows us that the Ducati will:

Cost £100,000 in the North American market
Production will begin this April with just FIVE bikes built a day, deliveries starting in May
It’ll have a 152kg dry weight
It’ll have GP19 livery
It’ll comes with Pirelli race tyres
Aerodynamic performance from the Biplane wings will be the same as on the GP16 MotoGP machine which means it’ll have 50kg of downforce at 270kmh (that’s 67% MORE than the V4R superbike and a higher amount of downforce than the current GP19 race bike)
The bodywork is entirely carbon fibre
The engine is going to kick out 224hp @ 15,250rpm in the standard trim
Put an Akrapovic system on the bike and it then makes 234hp @ 15,500rpm
The bike’s frame (both front and rear) are completely carbon fibre units
