The maximum cost is stipulated by the championships, it will enter.

To stop Honda entering that rcv road bike.

If Dorna banned those wings in Motogp, surely they will end up banned in wsbk?

£35k sounds like quite a bargain (compared to the V4 Speciale which was not that different in road trim from the V4S).

Still, for road use all far too much. Rode the normal V4 recently and even briefly getting into the real powerband meant exploring speeds not really suitable for the road. All a bit shocking. Pull out at 55 to overtake a couple of cars. Give it some acceleration. Hold the throttle for just a second or two extra than strictly necessary. Check speedo. WTF!! Pull brakes...

That is lovely!

[RemaL]

Very Nice indeed

Hello, Santa, you there ?

It's just mental isn't it, the current crop of 1000s with circa 200hp are all ridiculously fast and now we're got this from ducati, predicted 210+ from BMW, 217 from aprilia

i mean, how fast do people want to go!!

[Steve Bass]

That is just wow......
Now wait for the V4R2.0 with the bugs ironed out.

And 35k is a bargain based on the Speziale. And nearly half the price of the HP4Race..
Superbikes have never been so great

[stew-STR160]

That is just utterly ridiculous...I want one so very much!

[Rawwr]

1,414bhp/t is a lot until the rider gets on. When my fat ass gets on it, that drops to a rather miserable 918bhp/t

When a bike can push me around with >= 1,000bhp/t then I'll be interested. Until then, meh.

You probably gain weight easier than manufacturers gain power (or shed weight), so you could be in for a long wait.

[poo at Paul's]

Just want.

What does this mean for the HP4 Race values???
Yes performance machines are a law of diminishing returns but if GBP35k is in the ballpark that's half the price of a non road legal limited edition which is unlikely to hold its value based on the average values of 'Specials' in the bike world.
If the V4R redline of 16k+ is to be believed howver there's no way that motor won't require rebuilds fairly frequently which at Ducati prices will be a tad salty. Anyone remember the major service cost of the D16's

I cannot see the base bike being £35k, or if it is, there will be a mandatory race kit to buy on top that will be shed loads more!

If it is £35k incl the race kit, i am getting one, well at least one!! lol

[CAPP0]

Never been a Ducatista in the past but that's just stunning.

[mckeann]

Has to be under 40K euros. So I predict €39999. Plus race kit at €10000
