As much as I’d l;I’ve to see Chas do the bizzo, not a chance! My prediction (which I always get wrong btw) Rae, Haslam, Van de Mark 1-2-3 at the end of 2019
Just think it will be too soon for the Ducati. Unless the chassis is like the MGP bike, cant see how they will develop it enough, quickly enough, to oust Rae.
Who cares. New S1000RR released. Priced from £15,290. Nearly 10k less than V4. Beat that Ducaudi. https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/models/sport/s1000rr.html#/section-model-variants
Its written on the site. £15,290 for base sport model. Thats a lorra bike for 15k. Add £600 for sports pack. Its nearly 20k with forged wheels and full akro and all accessories inc. Thats still a lot cheaper than youdve thought for sommit like that.
Who cares. Its not about the best bike per £. If people want a sexy Italian thing with a different engine configuration, they will get a ducati, or aprilia, or at a push an mv.
