I was under the impression that this example was in a museum.

Chandler's Cagiva from the same year is on display at the Ducati home office in Italy. The last I had read about this bike years ago, it was under glass.

There were supposed to be 50(?) exact replica's produced very soon to comemorate Cagiva's GP program back when but I do not know if this happened.

I would question if this was Kocinski's bike, but how you would verify without acsess to the original documentation?

What a beautiful machine. What ever happened to Kocinski? Last I ever saw of him was probably late 90's.

Cool bike but a $150k ? Ya think it'll sell?

I have to wonder.....

If you paid $150,000 for a bike like that, would you actually ride it at the track? I sont think ArgoCycles has any spare plastics.....

Nope. The only people interested in those probably have a museum of them.

[OreoGaborio]

150k AU.... 116.5 USD.


not.... that it makes a whole lotta difference in the number of people here that can afford it

[IllKneeGrow]

On top of that high price, look at the seller's feedback....0

I think if someone that was selling an item like that they would have atleast sold some other crap on ebay and would have some type of rating.
