It sorta looks like a really ****ty version of a ducati. I'd rather buy 3 ducatis with the money.

You guys wanna see a cool, new, American sportbike? Look up MotoCyz and drool over the cool tech goodies all over the thing.

Actually, it more resembles a cross between an earlier (than current) Triumph crossed with an RC-51.

Kinda cool, looking, IMO. And yeah, the MotoCyz is tha sickness...

I wonder if those Marchesnis are standard? I'm guessing with a $60K price tag - they are.

I'd buy one. If I was the kind of guy to spend $60K on a toy

60 K for an unproven bike rejected by Buell for being too heavy........no way !!!
You can buy two Ten Kate Hondas for that.........
I saw a movie on the Motocyz a couple of years ago, called "birth of a racer" - now that's a machine I'd love to test !!

I don't know how theycan say its worth 60k that's stupid. I could buy a buell and put all the bells on it. I don't know what blower they have on it but I work for Eaton and could get one all setup for what like 25k at the most??

Looks like they took a tail off a CBR, a headlight off a Ducati 999, a frame off a Bimota... I dunno what else. 60,000 $$ ??? Yeah, I'd rather have something REAL, like a MV Agusta F4 for less than half the price. Even a 1098R is less, and probably handles better too. If you're really bored and rich, why not a Bimota DB7?

People are retarded.
