...the Ducati Desmosedici.

The article below states that to prove that your eligable to rent, yes rent the bike, you need to prove yourself. On what, well the zx10r.

"A motorcycle rental company in the USA have taken the decision to rent out the Ducati Desmosedici.

* See the Ducati Desmosedici been built
* Watch MCN's full test report on the Ducati Desmosedici

The company, called We Rent Motorcycles will rent the motorcycle for $600 a day or $3,800 a week on the condition that it must only be ridden on the road and not on the track.

As well as this you must also have a reference from a reliable source such as a Ducati dealer, weigh less than 250 pounds fully kitted up, ride a Kawasaki ZX-10R to prove you are comfortable on a sports bike and pay a $25,000 deposit by credit card if you are to ride the bike.

The company also have the CAN-AM Spyder available for rental, along with several BMW’s and Kawasaki’s GTR1400.

Yeah i'm out, nfi what 250 pounds is :P lemme see 14lb to the stone makes it 17 stone thereabouts, wtf that translates too in kilos I have NFI but i'm under it :D Prob si I a) don't have a 10, b) don't have $600 to splurge on a rental bike and c) don't have a ticket to the good ole US of A either.

250 pounds is 114kgs, which is a reasonable ask I reckon. $25k deposit by credit card though! :shock: :shock: :shock:
