Went to the GP at COTA earlier this year. Those KTMs are so fricken loud and have a unique sound.

Going the route of JMB or just playing on a different toy ? Suppose he's a bit old to change disciplines now.

What an awesome opportunity to ride the ktm MotoGP bike
They'll sell you one. I think they are like 160k euros or something like that.

Aprilia sells their 2015 bike also I think.

Yamaha's R1M is pretty damn awesome.

And Honda did offer a customer version of the RCV.


Kinda weird, but super awesome to see so many race bikes available to the consumer these days. I want that Aprilia soooooo badly.

160k in your dreams. If you mean an actual MotoGP KTM.

The RCV you mentioned and Desmosedici RR are bikes you can buy with actual MotoGP tech. The R1M is just a streetbike with some golden goodies (not even close to MotoGP tech).

Aprilia is a strange story, I see why you want one.

Did sell a version of their MotoGP bike that was road legal, Honda RC213V-S(S stands for street).

$180k in USA.

Then you can buy bikes like the BMW HP4 race(track bike) for over 80k or the Ducati Superleggera for 100k.

Cool bikes for sure.

There was a Desmo RR for sale a few months here in Finland. Such an amazing bike, almost like art. I think they asked 65k € for it.

They were $72k usd when they were new.

They can be found in immaculate condition for about $50k now.

Owners quickly learned that they cannot really be ridden anywhere but the track or freeway. The cooling system requires the bike to be moving at a certain speed or the engine quickly overheats. I had one dealer tell me that anything under 70 mph and the bike is going to start overheating fast and that was causing a lot of reliability issues for old rich guys that bought it thinking it would be a great bike to ride to bike night.

Same thing happens to my MV Agusta. It's meant to be on the track. Anything under 35 mph for too long and the bike will overheat.

So yeah, these "race" bikes are basically art hahahaha. And Im perfectly ok with that.

My neighbour has a brand new Ducati Superleggera AND the old Desmo. Amazing machines! The Desmo is so hardcore and not very streetfriendly haha. The superleggera is a work of art. I can just look at it for hours.

Allright well I meant the thing they race in the GPs is probably tenfold the price you mentioned. Wasn’t really aware of a production model. The question is: which goodies are or aren’t on the production bike?

It's the same bike they race in the GP's.

The only difference is the electronics settings are detuned to make the engine more reliable.

Same chassis, engine, swingarm, electronics, etc.

I think by building so many of these bikes, they were able to amortize the cost of parts for their actual GP project. One off parts runs for a company that doesnt do a lot of it's stuff in house cannot be cheap. KTM has always used 3rd party private design firms to design/develop their bikes (it's very common amongst the Euro brands). I can only assume they are doing the same with the RC16.

The bike hasn’t had much success in motogp yet, waiting for the day red bull throws enough money at Marquez to get on one.
