I don't get it, other than suspension and some bling, it's stock, right? What is on that bike that makes it roughly $13,000 more than a new one?

All those aftermarket parts lol. PC parts arent cheap. Exhaust is over $1000 alone.

In 20 years someone will be building a Villopoto replica and searching for all those parts and will spend way more than $20k to do it.

Is it me or do the prices on all those bikes seem excessive? Like 30-40% higher than market value

I guess if the title had RV’s name on it the practice bike might be worth the 20K, only to a hardcore fan that wants it for his living room

Works suspension on that one.

But you can save some money and buy a KX100 for "only" $10,000. Or a bone stock KX250F that's been held wide open on the dyno for sound testing for the low, low price of only $6,500.

If you look at the cost of the PC mods it looks like a decent deal. A kit stuff is like 6 grand? PC motor work could have the Carillo rod, trick piston, their valves and springs which may be a grand alone and the labor to port and flow the head. Probably close to 2 grand in the motor. Stock or aftermarket wheels that push $1500?

That suspension is around 10k alone with the more expensive turquoise coating.

Cost on a A kit $7800,. Retail closer to 10k w clamps. And depends what lower coatings you want.

Man, full blown PC Kawi 450??? Thats about as bad ass of a 450 that money can buy for us normal guys. Looks like its loaded with everything and if I wanted a full blow race bike with the best of the best $20k would be totally worth it.

The way I view this and I have given it a ton of thought over the years (since I spent some time at the PC shop) is that a guy like myself in my early to mid 40's a bike like this would be ideal for racing the old timers nationals, the vet series, etc.... it would last easily 5 years at a vet level and it probably cheaper than if you ended up buying a new 450 every 1-2 years. I went back and looked at it and looks like stock wheels/hubs which I was kind of surprised.

Question I’d want answered is how many practice hours are on it? They mention it has an hour counter but no mention of the actual readout unless i missed it.

If you put down $20000 for this, you wouldn't need to update the bike for 5 years atleast. Send it back to Mitch at 100 hours for a top end and timing chain then keep on sending it
