Why are they so expensive...

That price will never happen.

It's sought after but not that sought after.

This is a mint Nicky Hayden edition with all the rare and extremely expensive parts out there and it was/is only 10k OBO

Far from a stock RC of any year...

I like how your name was mentioned in the second post :lol:

 

[R13]

:lol:

I would be a little scared to ride that thing, Not because it's expensive, If it got damaged there may not be another one like it in the world. :shock:

There's frost all over my bike. The ride home is really going to suck. Itll barely be hot by the time I get home hahaha.

You're going to let it idle to give it a few minutes to warm up though, Right? :scurred:

 

[Accel.speed]

Absolutely. I dont ride it unless it actually registers a temperature lol.

I won't even rev my bikes until they have ran for at least a minute to make sure the oil has circulated.

Except dirt/race bikes, Fire them up and sit there flicking the throttle like you see in motocross and motogp, Clears the system and preps the bike for the abuse it's about to take.

Well actually you still want to give them at least 60 seconds before doing that. :lol:

 

[Accel.speed]

Self explanatory :lol:

 

[R13]

At least your balls won't be sweating. :lol:

 

[Accel.speed]

More like shrinking..

 

[R13]

Keep a bike cover in your backpack and bring the seat inside with you for at least an hour before you leave so it's room temperature.

 

[Accel.speed]

Well the butt cold I can deal with but that might be a good idea to buy a cover. Luckily I have a garage so I don't have to worry about that in the morning, only at night when I leave work.

My seat is bolted down though..

It's just two 8mm or hex key bolts on either side isn't it? I kept a 1/4" screwdriver with an 8mm socket in my backpack to take it off with, Pretty easy.
