IT'S no secret that Tom Cruise has a thing for bikes, and he's made sure he's first on the list to take home Ducati's newest motorcycle.

For a cool $US72,500 ($A81,694) Cruise will be the proud owner of the Desmosedici RR, touted as roadgoing version of a MotoGP race machine.

The superbike, boasting titanium, magnesium and carbon fibre technology has been released as a limited edition vehicle, with only 1,500 of the red-and-white Moto GP racing replicas to be made.

The superbike can reach speeds of up to 322km/h.

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.
