Congrats to him, he surely will have great pride of ownership.
I'd pass however, because I don't see what's so special about the bike. It's mostly a collection of upgraded aftermarket parts (Marchesini, Akra, carbon bodywork, LiFeP04 battery, etc.) that will most certainly be usurped performance-wise by the next genertion Ducati superbike in only about 3 years. If warranty wasn't a concern, you could start with a base 1199, get the motor built and buy the same (or better) aftermarket parts, and have a superbike with at least equivalent performance, yet have at least enough money left over for a Pikes Peak Multistrada.
Rich people don't usually care about that though. Except for the truly nutty gearheads that take a brand new Gallardo to Titan Motorsports for an 800-hp twin turbo upgrade.
Damn, I wish I was rich...
