I don’t understand the 140k part… its not cost or speed, is it mileage? lol

1198RS Superbike w 1098r frame for VIN plus side and upper fairings. Rider purchased both bikes to make the street legal race bike , $140,000 invested. From the rider " this is a 1198RS when I ride it on the street I put the street side and upper fairings for the lights and the front wheel I run on the street has stock rotors because they don’t bite as hard as Superbike ones" “and yes just about every nut and bolt is in Ti as are the axel,handlebars,etc and the bike﻿ weight”  
More about the bike

hold on, so he took a race bike and VIN swapped it?

I guess you cant buy riding skills, even when you have a bike once built for racers.

Is it just me or dose the guy who own’s the bike look a bit like Gary Dell’abate from the Howard stern show?

Personally I would think with the kind of coin he is dropping he could afford a few track days hell even private lessons. I hope he has…

It’s kind of mind blowing he would risk such an expensive bike on the street to begin with… let alone execute such poor judgment into a turn.

The first turn 0:06 in we don’t even really see him behind the R6S till the camera pans away. 0:12 into the left hander, it looks to me as if he squeezed that front break WAY to hard the tire marks are pretty prominent as well; he rushed himself into that turn and panicked.:Idiots

$400 riding skill on a $140k bike. :rofl

If you are going crash something like that at least crash it on the track so that you can tell your friends you over shot your braking by 6 inches into a 100mph corner trying to make it turn and not doing 30mph on a slow corner on some street in “full leather” because you look where you _don’t_ wanna go and you can’t brake for shit…:rofl

Nice find! +rep
