Pricing quoted by 900 Man seems favourable (optimistic). You sure these are right, given the cost of the 999 range at present (£9 - 20K)?
Prices given in US Dollars as:
$14,995 - 1098 Base: 160hp/80+tq
$19,995 - 1098S: adds carbon bits and Ohlins suspension pieces
$24,995 - 1098 Tri-Colore: adds race exhaust in the crate, red/white/green three-color paint
A quick conversion results in the following:
1098 base model: £7914.93
1098S: £10552.00
1098R Tricolore: £13195.00
If correct these are 'kin cheap by comparison. Methinks you mean Euros and not US dollars IMHO.
In euros the prices seem more in line with what we might expect
1098 base model: £10131.00
1098S: £13500.00
1098R Tricolore: £16889.00
Even so the "R" version seems priced way down from the norm. I think around €30,000 seems more on the money.
Just a thought mind. |
