Interesting, what a pretty bike. Just the other day for entertainment and a bit of education I guess you could say as I am not a car guy...but I've been really enjoying Youtube. Who doesn't, LOL. Seriously I watched an old documentary about the life  of Enzo Ferrari and his company Ferrari and that led to a documentary about the beginnings of Aston Martin. Cars with racing DNA, well not their latest models. I guess the one in the Bond film is what put them on the map.

120k for that bike though, wow that's a lot of money. And it's turbocharged but only putting out a claimed 180 hp? seems paltry considering. I like the first comment following the linked article, "This is a puzzling vehicle to me. $120k and track only but with beautiful leather and exotic materials. Perhaps a nice Ducati for the track and a Zero SRF for the street and then use your leftover $80k for some lovely vacations and meals."

I could buy a variety of artful objects for $120k.

Not really to my taste & not in the market for a French bike trading on English brandnames
