Tom Cruise buys $72,500 Ducati motorbike

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Tom Cruise is the first on the list to get Ducati's newest motorcycle – a $72,500 (U.S.) superbike bristling with titanium, magnesium and carbon fibre technology that can scoot up to 322 km/h.

Cruise is scheduled to take delivery of the Desmosedici RR at Beverly Hills Ducati this week. Only 1,500 of the red-and-white Moto GP racing replica motorcycles will be made and Cruise gets the first.

Michael Lock, chief of Cupertino-based Ducati North America, said the Desmosedici RR "is the impossible dream – made possible."

"We are delighted to be able to deliver the world's first production unit here in the USA to Tom Cruise, who is a well-known Ducati enthusiast," Lock said in a statement.
