Well, it's an ex racebike, tuned by Roger Ditchfield and afaik it's a Stage 2 engine, so 150-155 ish at the crank and reliable as a stock engine... I'd say the used 1098 duc is a bargain in comparasion... I'd say the cost was when built equal to a new 1098...

Though to be completely honest, I have ridden a VTR with around 160 at the crank, and that had a braced frame like this one, but it was still waaay to much... It might not beat the duc's or the current crop IL4's on a straight, but it will scare the crap out of you twice as fast in the corners...

Won't change the fact that I'd buy one if I was offered...

 

Nice bikes and I'd beat that the STG2 motor has one of the stronger unobtainable cranks

 

With what ever they poored into that engine in terms of money, I'd bet my *** they stuck all the special, super hard to find parts that they at that point could order from Honda/Mori... And which are now unobtainable... Like I said... Tell me it's for sale and I'll show up with cash...

 

oh man that would be great, i wonder what the torque would be from that monster. i saw the vid a while back it sounds fantastic. i bet that thing makes one hell of a noise at higher rpms.

 

I'd say he has good taste. Sick!

 

Lucky! How do you find these things, man?

 

Well I have the same rearsets but it ends there. Well I did put a bearing in place of the bushings. LOL wonder what he does for a living. sure he make at lest 4 times the cash I do

 

Amazing bikes, but the title needs to be changed to "3 awesome VTR's", seems he has a stock 1998 as well...
