I'm not saying the RC45 was a bad bike. I was stoked when JK won the title in '97. It just never delivered an equitable return on its cost/investment as compared to the Ducatis of that era which were less powerful and less sophisticated.

yet they still go for over $30k LOL

they did very well all over the world and ducati only did WSBK so blah blah blah

sidestep, dismiss again
