I was glad to see Aprilia offering a full blown WSBK replica for just 63,000. I would love to spank a Desmodici at a track day on one...Or own a club race.

For just 63k

it would be cool to see. I have seen a few desmodeccis and MV agustas at the track. Its fun passing them on my lowly under 10k gsxr

I had never heard of this company but a couple of the street bikes looked kinda cool.

I get it for free and I feel like they should pay me to read it

I had a free subscription... I'm glad its expired.

Just $63,000 but it has the entire Aprilia race kit catalogue. From the 16.5 in wheels to all the kit engine internals. Compare that to a real WSBK bike or even the Desmodici and it is a bargain. I am certain I could have an American Superbike prepped GSXR1000 or R1 for close to that price so, for an off the shelf, it is pretty damn special.

And yeah, I have passed some pretty special bikes on my almost stockers too, so I can imagine what kind of awesome I could uncork with $63,000 worth of superman juice...

Meh, as few consecutive miles as I've been logging the last few years, it's hardly an issue

Highand's gig wasnt building motorcycles, they were building custom made to order bikes with competition requirements in mind. If you wanted a 4.5 gallon tank all you do is ask...
