1199 Superleggera Detail Pics

Thought these detail pics of the superleggera were pretty cool. I still think $65K is way high, but I'm not saying I wouldn't own one if I could…

I'm fairly certain I could ride that bike to a full half of it's potential.

I honestly don't even think I could do that.

I might be capable of safely operating that bike. As far as what percentage of it's capability I could use...
Anyway, this article makes it a little clearer that what you're paying for is NRE (non-recurring engineering). All that crap like shaving 6 grams from the radiator cap, then they're only making enough for 500 bikes and perhaps a handful of spares. So yeah, that $65k price tag is only paying partly for the actual hardware... what you're really paying is those engineers' salaries.

That's one hell of a machine
What kind of calipers are on the front? They look sweet

I'm sure you could find a deal on a D16 now but would you want to given all the engine problems that they have? Sweet OMG sound for sure but for how long? ( Not that I wouldn't mind finding out on someone else's nickle. )

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

Yep... you can pick one up for "only" 49 grand.

I don't have high expectations for motor longevity when it's derived from MotoGP. Not something I'd be riding every day. 2-3 times a year haul it out to a trackday. The rest of the time it's on display, looking pretty.
I don't have high expectations for longevity from the Superleggera, either. Anytime you remove that much weight you sacrifice some durability. Look at the old magnesium side cases for the Pantah-derived motors. Those had a finite lifespan before they were expected to crack.
