I went to Snetterton at the weekend to watch some classic bike racing and there was a guy in the pits with a genuine foggy Petronas WSB bike.

Great looking machine.

I asked the owner how many there were around and he reckoned this was the only one (apart from another half of a bike which he bought at the same time) apparently he bought them directly from foggy himself. He said he didn't have many spares and a lot of the bits that he needs have to be self fabricated when required.

I wonder what happened to all of the homologated road bike versions. I seem to remember there was a story in MCN years ago that a load of them were in a barn somewhere in Essex under lock and key.

Such a pretty, distinctive bike. Shame they weren't a success.

I saw this, and was surprised to see such a machine at a classic bike race meet!

Lovely bit of kit.

Very cool - but £70k - I know there are increasing more bikes at that price but my dosh would go elsewhere

sounds like a bit of a price uplift https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2003-petronas-...

I remember having a good look around one at Brands WSB. Lovely.
