Definitely collector's item. If I were to have the cash, I'd buy it and then run the piss out of it.

I think there were factory engine kits available for that bike... like pistons and camshafts and all that jazz... I'm sure with those you could build them to those numbers NtS.

As would I... it's one of the few bikes around which MOST of the examples were ridden like they were meant to be.

the street R7 is just a factory kit away from the one that raced in WSBK.

but its power is not the lure. its the intent of the bike and that its rare and modern at the same time.

The 1098R is even closer, for the price why not rock that instead? And you can't use the "rare" factor, only 450 1098R's are coming to the US...
