Wow, what and ad. Looks like the guy spent a good three days writing all that crap. I love the way he lists things like sprockets and head gaskets (like the bike can run with 5 head gaskets installed at once :laugh
Obviously, this is someone who's not familiar with race bikes. All you have to put down is "Chaz Davis' 2010 bike" and some photos. Anyone who's willing to pay 1/2 that amount knows what they're buying.
The 145HP claim is total BS. The Tenkate Hondas are dynoing at 149 max, with an average of 145 in race trim. There's no way the Triumph is coming even close.
But back to the Bike:
Less super than a superbike? Um, take a look at the photo of the clip ons. You'll see the controls for the
Marinelli electronics as well as BiTubo suspension. Those electronics start at 15K and the fork tube inserts are roughly 5K (if memory serves correctly).
Then there's the custom full race dual radiator set up, custom brake mounts/quick change set up, custom heat exchanger and other "can't buy me" sort of parts. WSS is far from any 'stock' series that I've seen. To build one of these is well over $50K, plus time needed for people to set it up and keep it running. Don't think the motors last more than a few races at best.
Strange that items like wheels, tripples, and fork tubes are restricted to stock when so much high $$$ stuff is legal. I guess they just want the bike to 'look' stocker than their WSBK brothers.
Regarding AMA classes, I think it should quality for Superbike as long as you ditch the electronics. Not sure it'll make the grid though.
Either way, I'd gladly shell out $10K for it today. :nod:
