Press release...

The Ducati Desmosedici RR is the only street legal MotoGP bike ever produced. The ultimate track day bike requires the ultimate transport; that’s where Toyota comes in with the 2009 Tundra Ducati Desmosedici transporter.

The Tundra/Ducati Transporter is built on a Tundra CrewMax, which has been modified to accept a 6.5-inch bed. The transporter is tied thematically to the bike, incorporating Ducati Corse style along with high tech materials and execution to create synergies for two companies obsessed with quality and performance. Additional features include major bed innovations such as flip up bedsides, a motorized loading ramp by Rampage, integrated tool and spares storage, and popup solar panels for accessory power.

Performance is enhanced through the full catalog of TRD Performance parts such as supercharger, exhaust, intake, suspension and brakes.

The interior treatment by Fast Ed’s Interiors combines high tech style with Italian flair.

One of my favorite bikes ever. And the Tundra looks SICK in that red. I dig how the side of the truck is like a pit area

So did Ducati mod the truck? And if so, how come a motorcycle company is modding a truck better than the auto manufacturer!

Simple: Ducati makes things of beauty....Toyota, not so much.

Not much for the paint scheme on the truck, but that's about it. Really cool concept/package.

I think the paint scheme was done simply to match the Desmo RR.

Anyhow, the more I look at the truck, the more I think I'd still need a trailer. The bed seems kinda small. If there's a bike in the back, there won't be room for much else (i.e. stands, extra tires, etc.). I wonder if the left side of the bed flips up as well with another hidden compartment. Still a cool concept though.
