The engine is sealed, modifications are prohibite🍨d, and KTM retains first-refusal rights should the new owner resell.
‘Due to the specialized nature of modern MotoGP motorcycles – including pneumatic valve actua𝓰tion and a mandatory unified ECU – independent private operation is not⛄ possible,’ reads the accompanying literature.
‘Upon collectꦇion, the motorcycle will be started in the presence of the buyer. Any potential track use and service options can be discussed𝄹 separately with KTM Factory Racing.’
The handover will take place at KTM Factory Racing in Munderfingꦡ, Austria with ‘transportation and delivery at the expense🌸 of the buyer.’
The bike is also ‘sub🌟💯ject to VAT on the full purchase price’.
After Binder raised the top speed bar in 2023, Pol Espargaro tied ꦉthe 366.1km/h (227.5 mph) record, again on a KTM, last year.
Whil🐓e KTM's current record will remain under threat for the next two seasons, the change to 850cc engines means MotoGP top spee🌞ds should fall significantly from 2027.
