Oh, and the electronics are updated to be MUCH better than what any street bike currently has. Think about what that alone would increase the asking price...

that's the right attitude

you guys are all funny talking in reference to pricing and stuff... Find a single manufacturer doing something like this. The materials involved alone are worth the asking price. Try and make a magnesium composite frame body and get back to me as to the cost of making that and what you'd have to charge to make any money on the deal...

Also, the specs of this bike are amazing. Look closely at the pistons, the crank, the things outside may leave you feeling bummed, but it is the heart that makes me excited. The carbon fiber sub frame alone is probably worth almost $10k. It shouldn't be hidden it is that beautiful.

I've pushed the bike with everything but fuel in it and it felt like a mountain bike. Amazing. And when you look at details like every fairing bolt, every engine bolt, every every bolt made of titanium. The rounded and sculptured fairing edges, the details like the spacers, etc. All attention to details.

This is a "hey world, this is what can be done and produced for the general public". And oh yeah... 8 lbs lighter than the wsbk...

Quit looking at the outside and pay attention to the details and $65k will make you feel that they could have asked for so much more. Try and price out an 1199rs13 and get back to me.

The Best of Everything

Red Dawn gets it. This is the baddest production bike to every grace this planet by a long shot. And I don't know what people are talking about with respect to the outside, as this thing is absolutely gorgeous. Ducati has once again delivered to us what no other manufacturer is capable of or willing to deliver and I find it astonishing. This is an historical piece of motorcycle art dripping with capability. This exercise in excess is worth every penny they are asking for it and more, and whoever gets to own and ride one of these beautys is very fortunate in deed. Viva Ducati!

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.
