The price of the bike is enormous. It is said that most of the total sold 500 units were delivered in race version, so even without light units in the motorcycle fairing. Also the performance data above already include the additional kit with inter alia a rambox for additional charge at high speeds. The high purchase price is justified by exquisite adds-on such as titanium connecting rods, five valves and a special intake manifold and cylinder head construction. Öhlins chassis elements are added.
Of course, such a thing is naturally not designed for the ordinary street.The determination of this machine is the World Championship of Superbikes. Here one is quite successful in 1999 with a seventh place and in principle, a second place in 2000, had not been there a positive drug test for the rider Noriyuki Haga.
