mznyc Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Who KNOWS how to pronounce the greatest street bike ever produced?
Admin Jaap Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I'm not italian, but as far as I know it's something like "des-mo-say-dee-chi" (without the American accent ) And after that I've seen it in person a few weeks ago I agree. What a bike!

What a bike! That's what I think,but a knowitall friend,who speaks a little Italian,not much more than me,says it's pronounced,"C-dee-C" I am not a numbers guy,but they are jaw-dropping on this bike.There is one at a dealership in New jersey and it doesn't get me all hotnbothered bye looks like the 916 did,but it is a REAL race bike for the street,a NR 750 on Steroids! Just to clarify, My friend says "Dezmo-see-D-see"
DeBenGuzzi Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I thought it was Desmo sa dee-chi RR with a thick huscky american accent OH and one crashed already too, saw it on the aprilia board, guess the guy made it 2 hours from the dealer without crashing. somewhat of a story here http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=236966
Duecavalli Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Jaap is correct. Desmosedici means valves sixteen in Italian
Skeeve Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 The greatest motorcycle ever produced is pronounced "Moe Toe GOOT see" but I'm going to keep calling the new Duck a "Dez moe say DEEchee," largely because I'm an American & nobody really expects me to know that seidici means 16 (a reference to the total number of poppet valves), let alone how to pronounce it correctly... or spell it!
mznyc Posted March 12, 2008 Author Posted March 12, 2008 The greatest motorcycle ever produced is pronounced "Moe Toe GOOT Ha,Ha,..Nice,....Dez moe say DEEchee sounds the same to me as to how Jaap and I are saying it.
Dan M Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I'm not italian, but as far as I know it's something like "des-mo-say-dee-chi" This is correct but you did not add that the right thumb, index and middle fingers have to be pulled together and stroked in an up and down motion with each syllable.
belfastguzzi Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 The greatest motorcycle ever produced is pronounced "Moe Toe GOOT see" Is that the Vile Mans?
Steve G. Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 DEZ-MO-SEDICHI You are right, the sound they make is quite lovely! Ciao, Steve
