Looks way fun. I can't help but notice that it has turn signals, rear pegs, rear fender and a brake light. I wonder if the "track only" bike comes that way.

I'll bet that more of them get used on the street than on the track, especially in Europe.

Still kind of neat. Would be interesting to see the Japanese manufacturers join the fray, but I don't think the market here would support it.

They are very popular over here as learner bikes for the young'uns.... most end up thrashed, crashed, bashed, and blown up, so I'd never buy one second hand.... the 250 version is an awesome track tool though....

Honda has a CBR125RR that's pretty sweet - it's no match for that Aprilia though.

yeah I was thinking it only has that stuff cause its street legal in other parts of the world.

I'd buy one if I had extra the coin laying around waiting to be spent frivolously.
