Is having MotoGP technology in your garage worth the money or no?"

If true...Ducati sure do/did right with Demos RR/Superleggera.

i have to say goodbye for it from now, i had a little hope in the price, but it is the closest motogp bike u can get on the planet so i guess they can put the price they want so far.

youngR · Nov 13, 2014

they can but only maybe 10 people will own one? As far as having close-like MotoGp/Superbike and being "reasonable" price 60-70k ish that don't need a mechanic crews and a umbrella girl (ok..we can all use umbrella girls)...I think Ducati did it right.

If it was similar price with Honda...it would've been awesome...of course they may have to downgrade some parts but at least we will see it on the road/track vs sitting in some rich collector's garage.

I can only imagine how much maintenance will be.

That is like a Ferrari price.

Buy a grom
For 1.5% of the price

Even more fun

I don't believe you.

You must post a video of yourself on a Grom. Need a proof.

Seriously Honda must put some rules before buying the RC2 like showing the buyer's history with bikes and how good and hard he rides his bikes, because it is such a shame to put machines like these on sale for some ppl who want to decorate their houses with it.

For that price, why not get an ACTUAL previous-season MotoGP bike. If you know the right people...

^^^This

Hell, the Colin Edwards FTR bike that was for sale was almost a third that. And the engine was based on a ZX-10 so you would actually be able to keeep it running.

Edit: Just noticed who posted that above, I suspect he "knows the right people" =)

What beats that was that the sale was conditional on the buyers agreeing to never operate them. Museum pieces only!

My answer is No... Unless you have money to burn cause it's not like the most who would buy it are going to ride it or even ride it to 1/2 of its potential.

Looks like Honda should be focusing on the replacement and upgrade for the CBR 600 & 1000. They are getting long in the tooth and low on hp and electronic gadgetry.

Going from a CBR600RR to the 1199 I couldn't agree more. The level of tech and refinement between the two goes beyond their price difference.

sad thing is that Honda is obviously more than capable of doing it but they don't for whatever reason...profit, cost? not sure.
