We'll get the figures out of the way first
180bhp
140kg
Now you're aware of those two all-important numbers, you can appreciate how serious Spirit Motorcycles is about their new project, the GP Sport-R
The engine is a 749cc triple with a top-class Motec electronics package. The chassis has the finest GP spec KTech suspension and a custom trellis frame.

Ok, let's get this out of the way first; all things considered, the ultimate street bike is the Daytona 675.
This thing at £70k? To put it into perspective, the limited edition Norton V4SS is £44k while the V4RR is "just" £28k, which is expensive in my book, by about £6-7k. The Desmosedici RR was £40k, admittedly a relative bargain given its roots. This bike goes against BMW's HP4 Race and the 1299 Superleggera, both of which are full carbon fibre (including frame), 215bhp in similar weight, the latest and greatest tech and the backing of BMW and Ducati.
Couldn't agree more with you about the Daytona Triple. Pants shitting fun!
I'd argue the Spirit would lap faster than the HP4 Race and Superleggera on 90% on circuits
i like vintage bikes, like 1960s/70s vibe
Should I not get mirrors for this money?
