Talk:Ducati Desmosedici

GP vs RR bikes

Seems to me the D16 RR bike should have a separate article, linked from here. Having more than a reference to it here in the racing bike article is misplaced. izaakb ~talk ~contribs 17:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Support - Agreed. In fact I was on the brim of doing it some time ago before this talk started.

Support - I agree. I added the split template in the article Chris Ssk _talk 01:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose - It's a variation of the race bike. We don't create article for hybrid versions of vehicles (such as Chrysler Aspen and Chrysler Aspen Hybrid). Same concept applies here. It simply gets mentioned in the article as another section. I think separation of two very closely related subjects anytime on Wikipedia is a bad thing because it opens up a lot of possibilities for inconsistencies.

Support - Yeah, more than a reference here does seem misplaced. --DavidD4scnrt (talk) 06:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Support - I totally agree to separate both entity. Ducati Desmosedici and Ducati Desmosedici RR are two separate bikes for different purposes. Ducati Desmosedici is solely for MotoGP and race build purpose. On the other hand, Ducati Desmosedici RR is for street oriented based sportbike. (THEunique (talk) 00:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC))

Support - I too would prefer to separate the articles. After all, primarily this is about prototype racing motorcycle in a class, where production components are for a large part prohibited. As for the street bike, I think that a tag among the lines "Not to be confused with Desmosedici RR, a road bike" (and vice versa) in the begining of the article should be sufficient to avoid confusion. --Thermos (talk) 12:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose it is a needless distinguishing of the bikes. The differences in the RR don't make it a wholly separate bike. Using this logic, the Pantah 350XL, Pantah 500SL, Pantah 600TL and so on should all have separate entries, as they are all distinguished not only by output but by fairing and frame differences. izaakb ~talk ~contribs 18:52, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Support - Despite what the Ducati marketing department would have you believe, the differences between a production "Race Replica" and the actual GP6 race bike from which it was derived, are greater than just the name. They are similar machines at best.

Support - I agree for the above reason. Desmosedici RR is not really a variant of the Desmosedici GP Race bike, it's a "replica" bike for road use. T.carnifex (talk) 14:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Support - Support separate articles for ease of use, categorization and appearance of infobox. Plus, the consumer version really should be treated as a separate entity, as it is such. Brianhe (talk) 20:07, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Split off Ducati Desmosedici RR into its own article per consensus above. Brianhe (talk) 05:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
