If power to weight is a factor, this might be a contender.

Do they still make the Suter? I thought they were a limited number and sold out years ago

Nope, they’ve only sold 18 of the 99.

And they keep raising the price.

I think most people get excited about it, but when it comes to shelling out the 150k for a bike with no electronic nannies and a power to weight ratio that’s a man killer, cooler heads prevail more often than not.
 


I have both those bikes now, spring rates are set up right for my weight on both, will be interesting to see the difference in how they feel.

Though the gixxer has been Track spec’d, abs a 2006.
 
I dont see why not. It's not a full blown Corse machine, just a mostly Corse machine. I *imagine* the laptop/software required to interface with the electronics is included since Wyman is no longer going to be running a Ducati and doesn't need it. It's a SBK, not a GP machine, parts are available and going down wouldn't end its riding abilities forever.

Its got the MM kit. That's not for the timid.

Definitely sounds like a pain in the ass, but I feel it's likely been dialed in to "good enough" by the Wyman team. He also very regularly swapped between Corse motors and stock motors due to crashes, so I'm willing to bet the MM suite on that bike has maps for both Corse and stock motors that *should be* relatively easy to swap between.

That's fair. The MM kit I have from BSD came with a bunch of stuff. I think the initial setup map was to fire the bike and get it running then tune from there and then some canned maps. The WINTAX 4 and SYSMA software are a bit much if you're not a geek which I am certainly not but I'm sure there are a few tuners out there that could assist. Decent deal for 100K. Does it come with spares?

Not sure. I contacted Kyle's chief mechanic looking to get my grubby hands on as much of the bike as I could. He made it sound like they had a whole mess of spares to go with it. Unfortunately, it looks like Wyman misinterpreted me saying I'm military and blew me off. He didn't get that when I say, "I'm active duty military," it doesn't mean I'm poor, but instead means I make terrible choices with money and often buy things I can't afford.

Which is a bummer, because I'm one of the few people dumb enough to actually buy a bike like that. Got blown off by Ducati Corse last year too. Nobody wants my money, lmao

I think you may have avoided jumping the shark! That kind of gear sounds a real PITA unless you are racing at a high level. Any bike that requires its own team of mechanics and wears a Ducati badge is way beyond my fun zone.
