Too bad I’m not filthy Rich$$$

The late great Nicky Hayden mentioned how different he found his GP mount vs his AMA bikes. Turning in, leaning, flicking and acceleration was kind of ahead of him at first. So light. Imagine how we would feel taking a lap on a GP bike.

Yeah, I reckon most of us would be in the gravel trap at the first corner!

Imagine the Hayabusa
one could build with a
$72,000 budget ? ? ?

That is just horrid to look at. Why destroy a perfectly good machine that is the Desmosedici and create this?

Cornering was the problem as the frameless GP bike continued to flex in unforseen ways. Ducati threw countless tech time & money at it for a year believe Rossi left over it. Now maybe a less powerful bike could get away with use of the design but would not put my $ on that.

Looks okay to me if your into factory naked streetfighters , I'd say it is much better looking than a B King , in which case I still also do like because of the Busa motor .

Didn't Stoner dominate on that very same bike , no one else could ride it like he could , he also use to come out of the corners harder than ever on that Ducati ?
