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!
