Nice bike.....for a museum. At $60K that thing will never get put on the track. It's a show bike that's it. Nice to look at but not practical. I'd rather buy a 1098R, mod it to WSBK specs and have money left over for 100 track days.

Nah, I know a few people that have already taken them to the track... but, those with the means to do that don't exactly roll with public trackdays. I do know of a few guys in Washington that were out on a race weekend with theirs.

fuck the MV... I'd take the Desmo over any bike "mass" produced hands down.

MV as good looking as the bike is... needs an update IMO...

Actually, there were two of them at Fontana about a month ago. Both riding kinda slow, but then again they were brand new!

FYI- since it's based off the GP6, technically it is 990cc.

Gimme one of those, I can guarantee you I'd have track plastics, race rails and a no fucking mercy attitude on the track. I know that aint even CLOSE to a cheap bike, but in the hands of a skilled rider, would MURDER anything and everything else on the track.

I love the questions at the end....If I could afford a $70k bike, I would give a flying fuck how much shipping would cost.

$70k bike. No problems. $750 shipping? Ooooh, that's just too much.
