For that sort of money I would want climate control, a good stereo and more comfortable seats.

I would gladly forsake the climate control etc for the approx.1300 bhp per tonne. Wink

Not me,like I said, I would go for the real thrill and then cruise around in comfort.... Grin

30K for a bike is silly money

Trust me Mark,its a bargain.It is the road going version of the grand prix bike.The genuine article if available would probably costat least 20 times as much.If you were to study the engineering and design in detail it would probably make your engineers mouth water. Thumbs Up!

Agreed. Had a few bikes before my BMW R1200RT-that was expensive enough at 16k with the CD changer, heated seat/grips, comms package and colour sat-nav.

Back in the day...... Grin

What would I do with that 16k now? Grin

Finish the Omega job list??? Grin

Take no notice Albs.

(in a Mark dtm stylee Grin

) what a load of miss informed clap trap. Clearly has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. Anyone remotely informed on the subject would know that price is an absolute bargain for an off the shelf replica moto gp bike. A collectors item of limited production run, the purchase of which can be seen as an investment.

And as for "only of use on the race track" the poster clearly cant see the lights mirrors and indicators present in the pictures. Load of Rubbish.

Further more it will be perfectly safe sitting on a pedastal in my ,or the current owners, front room.

A suprising and presumptious statement from a member who most certainly knows better, bloody wind up merchant. Grin

Chris,its nice to see someone else who appreciates the fine things in life,and they dont come much finer than this. Thumbs Up!

Imagine that as a track day tool

.........or even as a road bike.Despite what Mark says I think it would be perfectly tractable and useable on the road.The fuelling will be programmed to perfection for any given situation.
I think Mark is just scared tbh,needs to face his fears.A blast on the back of your Blade should do the trick. Roll Eyes
