its a motogp bike, the ducati desmosedici. unfortunately they are and never will be available to the public. the costs can only be estimated and typically are said to be $1,000,000 and up. no one really knows the inner workings of any of the machines , at least not the current ones. but everything on the bike is state of the art i can assure you. titanium and carbon fiber galore. they are capable of accelerating from 0-60 and coming back to a complete stop within 5 seconds, and have a top speed of well above 200 mph, even on the newer 800cc models. last years model and several years before, were 990cc, and before that 500cc two strokes. the 500cc two strokes were complete animals, very difficult to control. riders were getting injured constantly, so the rules were changed and the engines were then required to be 990cc four strokes, to allow for smoother power delivery. these machines put out roughly 250 horsepower, which might not sound like much, but when you look at it as a power to weight ratio you suddenly realize just how powerful they are
