I'm not a fan of "modern" faired bikes, much prefer 60's British stuff, Commando's, Bonnevilles etc, but I have to say that's rather smart.

£35,000 though?

An RGV250 was 156kg wet. This could be quite something.

£35k?? fk me, you can get a 38 year old RD250 for that.

I call a bit chinny rec on the weight too. A KTM 125 single MX bike with basically nothing attached in just shy of 100kg. If it is road legal, with lights, wiring etc, even with carbon forks I cant see how they will get to 95kg.
But I quite like the look of it.

I will stick with mine at £5k

Looks to be a decent amount of cf used which will likely be where those figures have come from.

Would kind of make sense...

I had an RGV 250 and sold it after a year of virtually no use .
Trouble is I’d had big powerful bikes previously and as much as I loved the look of it and that it was two stroke etc I just couldn’t get excited with it . Always wanted a factory made lucky strike mind .

Think I sold my RGV over 20yrs back for something like 2.5k so when you factor in that many years of insurance repairs and servicing then there’s no profit .

Anyhow who cares about profit , bikings about being out enjoying your bike and not stuck in a traffic jam regardless of what you ride .

Me? Well I’m getting old so have just ordered a 900RS Kawasaki in the 70’s livery .

That'll never make production.

Not much of a looker is it?

[anonymous-user]

80HP on pump fuel, hmmmm. We'll see.

Not a fan of the looks and I'd rather build an RS250 for similar power and about a £20K saving.

[cmaguire]

I'm no Ducati sycophant, but that is the same money as the Special Edition V4. I know which one I'd rather have, by a long shot.

It’ll never be made

[Loyly]

A shame that they don't even seem to have built one that they could have used for the website.

Pretty much how I see it.

No one is buying that unless a biker wins the lottery in the next week and has a "fk it" fund.

These dreamers price themselves out of any market, oh well, not the first time, not the last.

My MSX125 weighs 100kg.
That thing has got to be carbon everything at that weight Shirley?
