How Much Would You Pay ?

Keeping it real what would you pay for 30 minutes on your choice of MotoGP bikes on your choice of track? Which bike? Which track? And how much would you pay?

Myself I would take the Ducati at any venue on offer, just to see what the fuss is about For the pleasure I could probably throw about $1500 at it if my wife was not tuned in.

Re: How Much Would You Pay ?

I'd spend $1500 for 30min on the Duc or the Honda, also at any venue, heck it would be simpler if they would just come to my local track. I'd spend $1500 for a full day on a Desmosedici but only if it included free suspension tech.

Re: How Much Would You Pay ?

For a once in a lifetime ride, of course on the Honda, for 30 minutes, I would pay whatever the price would be. I would ride it at my home track, so I could focus on riding the bike, and not trying to figure out a track at the same time. That way, I truly get my moneys worth!

Re: How Much Would You Pay ?

I would do the same as jkobflys and run my home town tracks or canyons and it would be a duc or honda, I would pay a load to ride a 500.000.00 $ bike with all most a 1 to 1 hp to weight ratio O MY GOD.

That's if I could even ride it at 6 ft and 240 lbs they make them for little little people when Nicky is one of the bigger guys that ride them thats not saying much.

Nothing. 30 minutes isn't enough time to crack the throttle more than 50%.
But a weekend superbike school with last years 990s???
Hell, just show me where to sign. I'll worry about the price when I come down off the high.

Re: How Much Would You Pay ?

I would take the 30 min. on my home track, because I only have to focus on riding the bike, nothing else. My home track, I could ride while sleep... It surely would not take me 30 min to whack open the throttle the first time down the front straight! No way in 30 min or a full day, would I be able to ride at the bikes level in the corners. But I surely could twist my right wrist just as hard as Nicky could in a straight line, to feel what its like to unleash 240+ horses!!! OH BABY!!!
