I've never had the money to pay more than two and a half grand for a bike lol.
If I wanted something like that I'd be looking at a BMW R1200S, same styling (actually in the flesh its a beautiful bike) at a fraction of the cost.
Actually I just looked and there's a few R1200S's for sale, they're a beauty.

Well it's the same class as a 999 performance wise, but the price must be a wind up: they were only $12k new in 2004.Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

only bike i'd buy for silly money
i've ridden sp1 sp2 and 916 996 but this was a real deal when i was first into bikes
rc36 or rc45 are probably better depending on whats up but a "v8" bike is something to admire0 -

There was a 0 miles one for sale in England a few years back for £109'000.
This wouldn't be a bad collection to have

Never liked them personally and were a bit slow and heavy for the money even in the 90s. They took a lot of styling cues for the nsr125 off it. Have seen a couple in person and they just look like beached whales to me. But that's the thing about bikes - different strokes!
I'd have the 1199 superleggera in the ridiculous money category0 -

Speaking of the Nsr 125 I had this exact bike back in 1994.
There's no denying the similarities alright.
Btw I'd have the RC45.0 -

Blackbird mirrors and indicators were too.
Fecker didn't redline it in the lower gears
but for a four (eight?) it had a very 'meaty' exhaust note in the mid range revs, easy to make lots of power by making a four do silly revs but it ends up sounding like a sewing machine.
Those oval pistons and eight conrods (even if titanium) and 32 valves adds up to a lot of reciprocating mass, so this thing is about good breathing (32 valves again) to get peak torque at around 8k rpm instead of 10-12k - bikes like that are a lot more fun to ride imho but you can get the same effect much more cheaply by just making a twin or triple with bigger displacement.
Still my favourite exotic would be an RC30, even if a modern 600 would make it look silly.
Or a late model RGV / RS250In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

Late rgv250 or rs250 are really great but not silly money investment bikes0 -
