Went for less than the price of a kidney.

[tricolore]

That is typical, I would buy it for that every day of the week. I guess its not usually the thing you look for on fleabay though 

[mattyvas]

Plus freight and conversion which is sitting at 86c right now plus the fact that it's not complianced here.
that's alot of  for something you might only get to use on the track.

Sorry back to the dream, off to sleep sweet dreams of exhaust notes and shreading tyres.

102dB racing exhaust ..... meh, I know a couple of 620's that could trump that.

[Spider]

Bargain!

actually that price is a bit disappointing - thought it would be a bit higher than that - however the number of actual people who are willing to spend $100k on a bike (instead of just want to) would be tiny.

kind of like the guys that look at you in your leathers....they WANT to do what you do, but they just won't grab it by the horns (life that is!)

Don't most of them just sit on coffee tables anyway?  

But seriously if you wanted a kick arse ducati trackbike you'd buy a 1098, wouldn't you?

ooo er 
We talking about motorcycling or saturday night at "The Blue Oyster Bar"?

[dragonworld.]

The bumless chaps must get a bit breezy on a sports bike though?

[mattyvas]

If you want a great track bike and have $100k to spend buy a 1098r and spend the rest on tyres/fuel/a sexy transporter and a few pit girls just for fun.
But if you want something that is the bees knees can rip round a track if you have the skill and dare but also looks good on any night of the week.
Then buy an RR, I know what I kept hanging around at track on Sunday and it ain't the dozen's of 1098(s)(r)(tricolore)'s nor 848's.
Not to say that i'd kick any of those bikes to the kerb.

with a 100k you could buy 7 of these.. one for each day of the week?

[mattyvas]

Well that's 100k AUD about 65k US
Here you'd get 5 848's
In the States you'd get probably 5 also.
Funny that hey, same outcome different Countries.

Hmmmm 5 848's I could do that.

[Spider]

a orange 848!

whoa! 

[mattyvas]

Yeah I think it would look the goods.....
I'm seeing it now, deep burnt orange gold wheels.
You'd just wanna be able to ride the thing like stink cause there might be a bid of ribbing attached to the bike.

[Betty]

Or you could really challenge your riding to step up to the next level with a nice pink colour scheme with some purple highlights to offset those gold wheels.

Seems that my black has been found out .... it prevents drawing unwanted attention to my lack of ability.

100k AUD is about  87K usd at the moment
