The dream of being a MotoGP pilot has a very high price. But getting on the fastest motorcycle in history, without being cheap, is possible for some lucky ones. And we say it because the motorcycle with which Brad Binder marked the fastest peak speed in history in Mugello in 2023 is on sale.
The South African scored 366.1 kilometers per hour in the Italy GP of 2023, and although in 2024 Pol Espargaró it was not able to overcome it, so it is considered that the fastest motorcycle in history is that ktm RC16, although curiously policy also piloted an RC16.
In any case, the important thing is that for the most fans and wealthy MotoGP followers it is possible to get a jewel like this. Usually KTM takes some of its competition prototypes to auction or direct sale, they will surely be pieces that will be revalued because there are very few motogp, and only some of them end up going on the market.
The price of this motorcycle is 300,000 pounds, around 350,000 euros, and although that makes the majority out of the option of having one, the truth is that every time a KTM RC16 goes on sale ends up finding a home. Of course, although it is the fastest motorcycle in history, it is not the most expensive to sell because, for example, the Ducati with which Stoner achieved the title was sold a year ago by 402,500 pounds.
The most interesting thing about the fastest motorcycle in history is that if you buy it, you can use it
One of the negative parts that a motorcycle usually has, and more if it is a model that we can consider current, is that it cannot be used. Moreover, on many occasions they come without engine or without electronics, and in others contracts are signed so as not to be able to use them or open them. But on this occasion who stays with this jewel can get on her and enjoy it, although for that she will need technicians, because starting a motorcycle and putting it into operation safely a team is needed.
In order to enjoy this beast of almost 300 hp with Magneti Marelli electronics, Brembo brakes, WP suspensions and everything that has a current motorcycle, we will have to talk, yes, with KTM because they will be in charge of managing all those tests. And if you asked it, the tests are not included in the price.
In addition, although you buy the motorcycle, with the contract it is specified that modifications cannot be made and that if you want to sell it first you will have to talk to KTM. And, as we said, we must not ignore that we are facing an official motorcycle of only two seasons and in full functioning. An unusual opportunity.
