Another Reason To Hate Tom Cruise

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- Tom Cruise is the first on the list to get Ducati's newest motorcycle -- a $72,500 superbike bristling with titanium, magnesium and carbon fiber technology that can scoot up to 200 mph.

Cruise is scheduled to take delivery of the Desmosedici RR at Beverly Hills Ducati this week. Only 1,500 of the red-and-white Moto GP racing replica motorcycles will be made and Cruise gets the first.

Michael Lock, chief of Cupertino-based Ducati North America, said the Desmosedici RR ''is the impossible dream -- made possible.''

''We are delighted to be able to deliver the world's first production unit here in the USA to Tom Cruise, who is a well-known Ducati enthusiast,'' Lock said in a statement.
