Fancy A Nice Trackbike?

Tasty price ;)

But wondering why the riders don't own them. Don't Yamaha and Honda give the bikes to the riders?

Stoner is perhaps in the same boat as most of us. The missus objects to bikes in the living room. :(

I think he could afford a nice garage/showroom ;)

These were sold a few years back complete with spare motors and parts. They were bought by a German collector who sent a private plane to collect them.

Stoner and Capirossi may well have their own bikes, they run at least two bikes at a time plus any spares/upgrades built during the season.
