Haha! Thanks Hex. I see your from the West so maybe you've ridden down the coast on Hwy 1 and 101. That's where the pic was taken.

Bike is nice but additional costs = does not equal the parts spec in my opinion

Do you have an idea what the specs of parts is to make such a comment? Again, get back with me on the frame piece alone. But add in a ton of different things like I mentioned internally to make the motor capable of the higher HP that is genuinely on the safe side in terms of what they are quoting...

It has some things on it that add up. Take an 1199R and add Titanium everything. Every fairing bolt, case cover bolt, etc. Then add the wheels, add the electronic features with the next gen of engine and bike management and you have a lot more than $35k. Like I said, that subframe has got to be $8-$10k alone...

All I am saying is that it seems you are looking at just the outside and not the parts in of themselves. The fairings also aren't going to be cheap. They are F1 quality, guys. I am saying once you see the bike in person and can compare to such things like high end race cars and production of such elaborate design, you will see that $35k on top of an R is really cheaper than they could have asked.

Add up the wheels, carbon and the ti and that would get you damn close. You're missing SOOOOOOOO much more just beyond those few things.
 
I don't know why there is even a discussion of the price. Nobody is having a gun held to their head making them buy one. I was at my dealer a couple of days ago, he already has one sold to a guy who owns not one, but two Desmosedici's and a variety of other Ducatis.
 
Reminds me of people that have the means and desperately want to buy a Pagani...

There are other super-cars in the market that can perform at the same level (if not faster) but they want to purchase them anyway due to the quality, craftsmanship, styling, build materials, exclusivity, and many more reasons...

I would go on a limb and say the bike won't be $30k faster/better performance value than my 1199S or an HP4...but then again neither is a Ferrari 458 over say a Corvette ZR1 if it all comes down to laps times etc etc.

Another great analogy is my customers and good friends that have $15k + watches. My $300 Wenger works just as well but that doesn't stop them from wanting a Rolex or Breitling :D (bastards - lol)

Ash tray?

And an entertainment system for the pillion.

What about a bar fridge??
With a cocktail cabinet.

The ash tray and bar fridge are Harley accessories but I think your on to something with the cocktail cabinet and how about a espresso machine so you can make every stop a Starbuck's stop.:)
 
And it doesn't have power windows and central locking.

For that matter no power assisted disc brakes or power steering (for those that can still remember back that far):D
