Instinctively I'd probably look at 4 x 10k bikes but as thems not the rules I'll narrow it down a bit.

An 1100 Evo powered Ducati special based on a Pierobon kit:

I'd have it far less extreme position wise with ust a half or nose fairing and comfy seat!
Nice one - that's about as close to Stucy's modified DB2 as you could buy off the shelf...a
Well you pretty much nailed it on page 1 :) there are a few more out there, XTR Pepo makes some interesting builds and I'd also quite fancy a 888 SP with an 1198 in it that looks almost stock..

I remember when they were 9 grand 2nd hand, then they were 25 and now anywhere between 30 and 40.

I reckon if you wanted to ride it, you could probably leave it years between outings and it wouldn't require any attention, try that with a 916 :)

I'm late to this and went through the first 8 pages of ebay starting at most expensive and didn't really find anything. The V4Rs are all well and good, but I couldn't trouble the cooking £20k one and they look pretty much the same. To be honest I'd rather spend £40k on a bunch of bikes to knock about on. I couldn't fine one WOW £25k - £40k bike that I'd really want.

TBH I'd rather spend £40K on hiring Cadwell Park for a couple of days and letting everyone on this forum out on track.
