Remember when I asked why Ducatis were so expensive? Now this bike is justifiably expensive.

Hell, throw a 110 lb. midget on a 1000RR and it'll probably match that easy.

I know of one that's 105 lb. and would probably be willing to give it a try... "Vote for Pedro".

Mad props to anyone who rides a bike at 180 MPH on that salt. It has to be a hairy ride.

An MV forum member was there taking shots. Here's the thread:

MVAgusta.net - MV @ Bonneville Speedweek

I logged out and the pics still seem to work...but if they don't for you guys, let me know and I'll ask to post them here.

Re: MV Agusta sets Land Speed Record
I think anyone that gets any kind of motion sickness could really have trouble out there.

It is a very weird feeling turning on the salt with a bit of speed (over 60)...
