Well at least it's got a V4 - do you reckon I'll need to get one of these?

[Her_C4]

it's ok just buy one through her_b4 LOL

if I am buying one then it will be for ME!

OK Chrissie you going to order two then, one for you and one for me? Or does LB want two for her and Hamish?.......

Ok den, I guess as long as I get one of 'em 'tis ok... I believe that LB is quite happy with her bikes but always happy to drool over others bike purchases

190? Is that all?? They were 205bhp in the last magazine report on them I read

Just depends on the mag you read I suppose the real truth will be in dyno shootouts once they are available.

It'd have to be a fair bit removed from the actual MotoGP bike because I thought they were only allowed to race 'prototypes' in the MotoGP, not bikes available to the public like Superbikes.

That's kind of reverse logic Coyote. The rules actually work the other way round. In order for a bike to be entered in Superbike races the manufacturers must have produced a certain number for sale to the public. For GP they are given some paramaters to work to (such as the current 800cc 4 stroke spec) and are left to make the best bike they can. If they choose to market the product that's up to them.

The point I'm making is that this is the closest thing to a GP bike to be ridden on the road since RG500's etc. were available.

And the V5 question was rhetorical - to the best of my knowledge Ducati are the only manufacturer currently making a road going GP replica.

Buggered if I'd know what the f**k to do with 190ponies under my arse though.

I thought what I said was along the lines of what you said, although I should've said superbikes were at least heavily modified versions of what is available on the road. SO I thought anyway, I was open to being told off

Motogp bikes are allowed to have NO PRODUCTION PARTS in them at all. In recent years some bikes have been disqualified over the inclusion of road going parts in them.

what do Honda call their V5 GP replica when they sell it?

Reliable?

Slightly faster than a Viffer - sarcasm I hope and infinetely sexier too.

Definately a sexy machine!

[merv]

The styling is rather plain compared to my VFR though don't you reckon?

The picture in post #19 is almost a VFR. Slightly different nose.
I would prefer not to have Italian electronics and a heavily dented wallet. VFR wins.

Can you spell Aerodynamic.........

[merv]

Can you spell Aerodynamic.........

Dunno, but it looks like you can.

My VFR is the '94 R model which has the blingy look about it, fancy NACA ducts and all that stuff with lots of silver alloy showing sort of NR-esque (coz that's what they were mimicking then) so that Ducati is plainer like the first of the VFR 800's.

I still reckon it would be a good buy at around $100k. Finn you'd get one wouldn't you?

Shit, didn't realise the rules were that extreme. What kind of parts would they want to take from a road bike anyway?
