Would look nice in my garage, could do a wee display with the helmet and leathers. In comparison to the retail RCV prices this seems a bit of a bargain for the monied types.

Cheapskate. You should pay for a new KTM (a proper biker would) instead of wasting your money on this second-had crap.

Interesting one this, I cant see who, other than a collector, would buy it.

Not eligible for any race series I can think of, needs a load of engineers to run....etc

If I had the cash I would buy it! It’s actually pretty well priced for what it is!

The same as all the other MotoGP and even the old 500's which got sold. And a lot of race cars for that matter.

Surely if you have the money to buy that you have a few quid for engine rebuilds? Also, if they detune the engine to 220 bhp from the 300-odd they make you might get a few more miles from it. Compared to an F1 car MotoGP machines are probably quite simple.

The bigger issue is surely that it's so noisy you couldn't use it on a UK trackday?!
