The street-legal EDS with a desmo single at 450cc, looking at the spec sheet you can feel Ducati's characteristic obsessiveness. The third act of the 450 platform, finally hitting the street. Beyond the 42hp figure itself, the sheer determination to bring this mechanism into this class is what gets me.

So Desmo is Ducati's own valve mechanism, didn't know it was used even on a single.

Starting at €12,490 is a bold price for a single in this class.

The desmodromic system itself is a special technology, maintenance costs included, so the price probably reflects that value.

42hp with Desmo is a fairly extravagant combination cost-wise, and that probably shows up in the price.

This makes the 3rd model on the 450 platform, steadily expanding the lineup.

Putting desmodromic valves on a 450 single shows Ducati's obsession isn't half-hearted at all.
