Its after all the Ferrari business plan and it works. The folks who buy these bikes make sacrifices to own the very razors edge of speed, so why clutter it all up with street/public compromises?
Yeah but aprilia priced the bike for the masses, the only part of the "prototype" argument that holds water is the gear cam kit-which is already banned for next year
