MotoGP crash damage costs?
Riders can fall up to five times in a weekend and the crash bill must be enormous?
I tried to Google any info and can only find the cost of leasing a motoGP bike at around $2millionUS per customer bike.
But nothing on crash damage.
So I looked up the parts costing of Hondas rc213v street bike to get some sort of idea of what that cost?
They have a part number for the fairing but no price. All in US dollars.
Fairing bracket $1400
Forks Ohlins $8560 per leg.
Frame $23,306
Swingarm $12,300
Exhaust $15,500
Front mudguard $1570
Rear Wheel $6300
Front Wheel $4500
Front discs $970 ea
Front axle $965
Fuel tank and cover $9000
Clip on’s $1400 ea
Front Brake Master cyl $668
Clutch Master cyl $1265
Radiator $665 (this seems Cheap?)
This is nearly $100,000 and there can be so many other bits!!
And so on!
This is for the road bike version so there is no doubt that the hand made motoGP stuff costs way more than this.
Yikes!!!!!!
