Because to some of the social elite...

Expensive = Good

Whereas any biker who knows his salt knows that...
Jap 1000cc + £8000 = better

Your missing the point, people who would buy the bike already have one of them, plus a lamb plus a ferrari etc etc......

The cost is not the issue.

Not that i would ever buy one, fecking waste of money.

No wonder Fogarty dropped the Superbike project


New they were/are $120,000 so that one is being sold for a £12,000 premium.

I can beat that, imagine taking your 4 month old F4 Tamburini on a track day, only to bin it without trackday insurance. Expensive lesson 1.

Then not more than 8 months later doing the same with a F4 Ago, the man is a bloody lunatic. Awesome bikes though, they're interesting to ride.

You'd buy a lawnmower from B&Q?

The dealer selling it has an "interesting" reputation within the Lambo and Ferrari world too
