Although Jay Leno is better known for his love of classic automobiles, the host of the Tonight Show has added to his motorcycle collection.

Earlier this month, Ducati North America CEO Michael Lock showed up to deliver Jay Leno's Desmosedici RR. A Ducatisita for many years, Jay already owns numerous vintage Ducati's.

"The last Ducati I bought new I still have. I bought it in 1985. It was a Hailwood replica because Mike Hailwood was one of my heroes. That was the last chance you got for a bike that was exactly like the one Mike rode. It was a pretty amazing motorcycle. I have not bought a Ducati in 23 years so maybe it's about time for a new one."
