1,000 cc motor is reportedly up to speed 350km/jam be lauched in circuits that had long straight tracks such as Qatar, Mugello and Catalunya.

Rossi admitted that Ducati had dijajalnya 1.000cc, the Desmosedici GP12, very fast indeed. However, he did not see it would endanger the safety of the drivers.
"That's really fast. When I tried it at Mugello, when arriving at the end of the straight track me laugh," said Rossi told MCN. "It's very fast, but no matter. Perhaps we are approaching the limit at a speed of 350 km / h, but not much has changed. What has changed is the acceleration of tikungam," he continued.
