Desmo is in connection with the desmodromic valve system while sedici translates to sixteen, which is how many valves it has. Remember the engine is a V4. Gauss, the exhaust comes out of the rear 'seat' section. The small vents on the of the back section is where the exhaust vapors exit.



As much as I like the Desmosedici RR road bike, I wouldn't ride it around town nor would I even ride it on track. Damaging this thing would be extremely depressing.
