that's cool that they found it but sitting on it pisses me off...that's like those kids who jump in cars at car shows and bump into bikes in parking lots.

Oh wow, that was freaking sweet! I can't believe it was just sitting out there so unsecure like that...how many tens of thousands would you guys estimate that thing is worth? That's a pretty sick post and a badass bike. Nice find brad...

really even uncovering it to take pictures is a little much in my opinion. Meet the guy who's driving it and ask for a few minutes to take pictures.

I'm pretty sure GP bikes cost way more than 10's of thousands.

It's a million dollar prototype. For a satellite team to lease a motogp bike from the factory you're look at shelling out 3-6 million dollars for the year.

I agree. Though, leaving an utterly, breathtakingly EXPENSIVE AS HELL racebike on a simple trailer attached to an old Fiat 500 (which amazes me that it was even able to tow it) is insanely irresponsible........those guys were way out of line uncovering it and then proceeding to sit on it. Even if that was just my 600RR and I saw someone doing that, there would be blood in the streets!

But honestly, how drunk would you have to be to leave and unattended, unsecured ACTUAL GP bike on a trailer in a car park? Really?
