Gimme one of those, I can guarantee you I'd have track plastics, race rails and a no fucking mercy attitude on the track. I know that aint even CLOSE to a cheap bike, but in the hands of a skilled rider, would MURDER anything and everything else on the track.

Too much $$ for my blood BUT sure ...if I had the means I'd be rockin' that bike !!

I love the questions at the end....If I could afford a $70k bike, I would give a flying fuck how much shipping would cost.

$70k bike. No problems. $750 shipping? Ooooh, that's just too much.

But it would be sweet.

Thoughts consistent with what motorcycle.com noted...

Quote:

Get hard on the throttle, and the D16 romps forth like a Gixxer on nitrous! It shows itself to be quite torquey but then comes on with a wicked surge past 10,000 rpm that inhales literbikes on straightaways like they are 600s. Every straight, no matter how short, becomes a passing opportunity.

The Desmosedici is like a barely tamed wild animal. It’s highly visceral and with an intensity that threatens to overwhelm a rider’s senses. It sounds downright angry on trailing throttle.

The most mind-altering aspect of the D16RR is the part when the gloriously wicked V-Four comes on cam and hurls itself into the next corner with a 14,000-rpm wail'

No matter the gear, the Desmo’ pulls ferociously and demands full attention. Shifts from the cassette-type six-speed gearbox are thankfully smooth, as info from the LCD bar-graph tach is impossible to take in during the bike’s banshees-from-hell increase of velocity.

It went for 70 grand, I thought they usually went for closer to 90? It was one by a 0 bid history bidder so it's probably a 14 year old trying to pay with hopes and dreams.

For those ordering early, owning a 999R, the price was $65K. Later it was raised to $72.5K.
