[quote][i]Originally posted by Daimo B[/i] Oh good lord, I've shot my load, twice, and the thirds "cumming" boom boom. To compete is WSB (world superbike), you have to have a certain amount of road going models for homoglomation. They have to be approved by the FIA. A few years ago, the legend that is Carl Fogerty, ran a WSB team called Foggy Petronas. Petronias being the major company in asia (i.e Petronas towers). The team collapsed due to poor results, and the road going bikes were presumed to have been sent to Singapore to the sole Petronas dealer and destroyed as Petronas were so embarrassed about the project being a huge flop in racing (came 21st, doh!). They actually only sold 2 bikes in Singapore at £31,000 each. They have ALL been found in a warehouse in Essex. 75 bikes currently valued at £2million. They are triples (3 cyclinders), which instantly gives me the horn given my bike :lol: with around 115-120bhp. The actual value of each bike hasn't been officially set yet, nor have the bikes futures, but f**K me they were hot a few years ago, and although they would get oblitorated by a 1000cc bike today (just like mine), they look, and sound absolutly stunning. I think they suffered with the same problem as Benelli. Entered when the WSB was a 750cc class (for IL4, 100cc for twins), so would have been competitive, but that season the bikes went up to 1000cc for IL4 and the triples got oblitorated). Horn, major, load shot, all over the place......... :cool: [img]http://www.visordown.com/uploads/images/ProductImage/583.jpg[/img] [img]http://picpost.mthai.com/pic/2006-11-16/282394_5492501.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.diseno-art.com/images/Foggy_Petronas_FP1.jpg[/img] [img]http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x116/sevenheavenR7/FP1.jpg[/img] And the actual race bike (ran about 185bhp) [img]http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/PhotoGallerys/mccoy24.jpg[/img] I've actually got a video of the race bike on the GP circuit at Brands come flying past. IL4 high revving NEOWWWN NEOOWWNNN NEEEEOOWWWWN, then the triple BWRAAAHHHWWOOOOOOO Never heard a triple, go look at my youtube page, user D4MO B Excitable giggles (to myself probably :lol: ) over. I WANT WANT WANT one..... [/quote]
