One is the exhaust, one is the wastegate.
Probably needs that swinging arm to keep the front end down when it comes on boost
Tbh though, would rather spend the cash on last years WSB, and put a reg plate on it
Wonder if that money would buy you a 990 MotoGP bike??? Hmmmmmmmmmmm |

That first one is utterly beautiful. Take off the crappy adverts at the bottom of the fairing and it can come home with me  ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I think the tyres actually look quite good, but TBH I wouldn't give the rest of it a second look, or even know it wasn't a 100% factory bike, or pro-painted stocker. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

Pfffff, I like it...a lot!!
But NOT at that money.
Maybe $6,000 on a bike and keep the $80,000 for living it a bit and having FUN! and shit like that but it's a great looking bike!!  ____________________ My Lane Position is always AWESOME!!

That kind of money wouldn't buy you last years WSB $86,000 is about £50,000. A WSB is going to be more like £150,000+.
MotoGP bikes are hard to price as it's all the man hours that go into designing and building one. So making one from scratch is many millions, buying an old out of date one that wasn't successful enough to be worth keeping might set you back £100k or so. Something like an ex Rossi M1 is probably priceless. They're either in a Yamaha museum or were dismantled to stop others finding out technical secrets.
Would £50k get you a second hand ducati Desmo? i dunno.
If i were going to throw big money on the ultimate sports bike i'd build it myself and get something unique and probably pretty similar to one of the CRT motoGP bikes |
NO chance You could build a WSB spec bike for £150,000 I reckon. A used one wouldn't be any more than £50,000. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Ducati Desmo RR's go for about £30k but it's the 24hr service that you should be thinking about  ____________________ Bikes : 2006 CBR125R - 2004 Monster 620ie - 2004 ZX-6R B1H - 2005 Monster S2R 800 - 2011 Street Triple - 2009 Streetfighter 1098 - 2014 ZX-6R 636

Gotta say the nicest thing is the tires guess I just don't appreciate sport bikes that much as that looks just ordinary.
Though the tires looks completely awesome ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS
