Moto3 Racebike To The U.S

and with With Contingency In 2012

 

I'm pretty sure I saw a price somewhere that said they were around $30,000 to $40,000.

 

$28,599. still pricey though

 

And will be a sales failure. Then Honda will sit back and go...why didn't anyone buy one?

 

I think that they are cheaper through RS Cycles, like 23k(ish)

 

WHAT A BAHGAIN! lol

 

Aren't the Moriwaki's between $15K-$20K?

 

Not so sure about that. The early commit date means no bikes left unsold. And Honda is one of the few games in town in Moto3 for regular customers, no?

 

Hey, shyster, did you check out the thread by the lady trying to find out what happened in her son's accident?

 

I ain't no real motorcycle industry guru but why would they be bringing over these bikes that no one is gonna buy when they can't even afford a Superbike team?

 

Nope. Linky??

 

Jesus, do some work. It's probably still on the top half of the front page.

 

Hi, I'm Mr. Doyle and I will be representing you in your murder case. Sorry about that.

 

I just don't see how it could cost that much.

They can come out with a brand new CRF250R every couple years and price it at 7k. I don't see how this little RS has more R&D money in it - the frame is typical RS125R, and the engine might be all-new, but then again, so is the CRF every couple years.

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they produce quite a few more CRFs than they will the moto3 bikes. Prob the much smaller production run driving the price up.

 

I bet it sells just like this little gem that's been wasting away on ebay for several months now..

Honda will sell maybe 10 or 15 in the US. More than enough to justify the time and expense.

 

For all that coin... You would think they could at least throw a exhaust can on it???
