Troy Bayliss has taken delivery of a Ducati he has been waiting a long time for
World Superbike legend Troy Bayliss has received a bike he has been waiting for since suggesting the idea to Ducati twenty years ago. Bayliss, with a strong history with Ducati, has achieved success in various championships, including World Superbikes, MotoGP, and the Australian Superbike Championship. He first competed with Ducati in World Superbikes in 1998 and won the world title for the brand in 2001. Despite narrowly missing a second title in 2002, he secured it in 2006 and even triumphed in a one-off MotoGP race for Ducati in 2006. Bayliss also claimed the World Superbike title in 2008 with Ducati and has recently added a Ducati Desmo450 MX to his collection, a model he had proposed to Ducati two decades ago. The Ducati Desmo 450 MX features a 450hp engine and a lightweight chassis, praised as having one of the best frames in motocross. Despite facing injuries from motocross accidents this year, including a left ankle break and various fractures, Bayliss remains enthusiastic about his newest Ducati acquisition.
