Any chance this could be a ROssi N rotAX Joint Venture? Could you imagine! Whatever it is, it sounds awesome! Probably a lot more than my RGV500 cost me, or my TZR500 will !

Yeah, I'm kinda liking that stylized 46 as well. Has to be some connection to Rossi. Especially since he has expressed his affection for the 500's.

Pretty sure the bike is based on Rossi's NSR500.

You can see the nose scoop and pipe configuration.

The shape under the yellow cover looks like this:

I can barely afford my RG500 and RZ500, I bet this bike will cost 10X to buy and maintain, but I still have to have one!

With this limited run, I'll bet these bikes are going to sell for well above $50, 000 USD.

If they sold for less than 50Gs, and would be California legal (no fucking way!), I would seriously consider buying one.

Looks like the kind of 2-stroke we've all been waiting for. :smt007

My estimate since it's being made in Germany is $75k and up!

RONAX stands for RON and AXel, the first name of the owners.

You ruined it for me. :sad: I could have dreamed about it for 49 days 7 hours, 15 minutes.

No worries...the dream is still alive, it's only my guess!

If it's only $30k we'll all be lined up to buy one...but there are only 46 to go around!!! Still a problem! :lol:

I would think 100K USD for any custom 46 units made 4 cylinder 2 stroke. I am sure it will be priced out my range. But still excited about its release, cant wait.

I think keysdave is close.

I'd bet that all 46 are already sold. None of them will ever see the street or track. All 46 will be art for guys with too much money. Pity.
