you are correct. MotoGP bikes are a class of their own and are not based on a production bike therefore manufacturers are not required to produce any number of them to compete. they are one off bikes. i believe Ducati actually produced a stret legal version of the Desmosedici V4 just for shits and giggles but i don't think it was for sale but display only.Moto GP bikes must not, by the rulebook, be based on any production motorcycle.
They're making a few hundred of them, yes they're for sale (soldout long ago), and yes they'll be seen @ coffee shops near you :surrenderDucati actually produced a stret legal version of the Desmosedici V4 just for shits and giggles but i don't think it was for sale but display only.
Sometimes money does not matter,but usable HP does 1000's hold 160 to180hp at the rear wheel.Maybe the zx800 will hold 140 to 150 at the rear wheel.Would love to see Daytona 200 running these bikes!!!So I bet the SOP :tredmill has started all ready.Why would you want a 800, when you could have a 1000 in the same insurance bracket? My FZ rocks and it's comfy too!

You are right,Its just a range but the slowsuz are pushing 170hp.The thread is about the posible 800cc sport bikes!!!:horse180hp at the wheel is very unrealistic for a stock/bolt on 1000...
Because the 800 might be a better bike? :2centsWhy would you want a 800, when you could have a 1000 in the same insurance bracket?
And it'll probably burn a little less gas.Because the 800 might be a better bike? :2cents
So does Kent.I wish the vfr was still 750.
We know about the VFR 800 and the Ducati 800 ss,they are s\t bikes.So does Kent.![]()
