Ducati Desmo450 EDS covers 1,448 km in 24 hours for a world record
Italians Silvio Sabba and Valerio Boni have set a new Guinness World Record for the longest distance on a motocross bike in 24 hours: 1,448.732 km. They took turns riding a Ducati Desmo450 EDS, the bike's first major achievement since its launch earlier this year.
The record was set on October 1 on a dirt track just outside Milan. The bike was completely stock, and the engine was stopped only for refuelling and a single oil and filter change. Quick pit stops played their part too.
It was not the pair's first 24-hour run. Last year they set a record for the longest off-road distance by a petrol-powered road-legal scrambler: 1,462 km on a Ducati Scrambler. That is a different category.
- Engine — 449.6 cc
- Track laps — 1,588
- Oil and filter change — under 17 min (believed)
