Looking for the perfect Christmas present for a
MotoGP fan? If you’ve got 250,000 euros (US$282,000) available, then why not pick up one of
KTM‘s RC16 MotoGP race bikes?
That’s right, KTM is offering two of its RC16 bikes for private sale. The offer comes just a couple of weeks KTM completed its second MotoGP season, a campaign that ended with
Pol Espargaro securing KTM its
first MotoGP podium with a third-place finish at Valencia.
KTM probably didn’t make as much progress in 2018 as it would have liked, but the Austrian manufacturer can draw some satisfaction in Pol Espargaro’s podium finish at Valencia.
The quarter of a million euro price tag gets the buyer more than just a MotoGP bike; the buyer will also receive a full set of Espargaro’s race gear including an autographed helmet and a chance to be a guest of the
Red Bull KTM Factory Team at a Grand Prix weekend of the buyer’s choice. This includes a paddock tour, a pitbox tour, a meet and greet with Espargaro and his new teammate
Johann Zarco, plus a set of team wear and access to the Red Bull Energy station all weekend.
Interested buyers can contact
rc16@ktm.com for more details on how to buy the KTM RC16.
Despite Espargaro’s historic podium, KTM probably didn’t make as much progress as it would have liked in its second MotoGP season. KTM only gained three points in the manufacturer’s standings compared to its debut campaign, with only five top-10 results compared to seven in 2017.
The 2019 season will be important for KTM, with much higher expectations. Zarco should be an improvement over
Bradley Smith plus KTM’s presence will expand with
Hafizh Syahrin and
Miguel Oliveira riding RC16 bikes for the new satellite
Red Bull KTM Tech3 team. KTM will also benefit from having the recently retired
Dani Pedrosa as its new test rider.
