Considering how good that bike is, plus all that R@D, $59K isn't that bad at all, :bigok:

Looking at the list of mods, its not a supersport, so we'll call it a hybrid, :bigok:

Thats NOT a superstock bike.Ok... Superstock + wheels, pistons and cams. There! :nuts: :D

You could build it for 25k or less. I've seen more highly tuned bikes at local trackdays.

Superstock/sports don't have ported heads with aftermarket cams and it even says SUPERBIKE ENGINE. :shrug::nuts:

_ AMA Superbike Spec Engine
_ Yoshimura camshafts
_ Yoshimura racing head gasket
_ Increased compression
_ Fully Ported and polished cylinder head

Amen, :beerchug:

True but I bet its still worth every penny and if you tried to make that bike yourself for $59K, you couldn't do it.

Put down the pipe Greg. That bike isn't worth $60k. ;)

My rough math = about $35k, including a brand new bike and labor to build the engine.

If I were rich, I'd probably still buy it, just because Mladin rode it. :)
But that's the only thing special about it.

Better deal is Zemke's 08 FX for $24K???
