Once a factory WSBK team has had its way with what was once a production bike, that race-ready monster is worth around $250,000-300,000. So what makes The Bike Specialists in Sheffield, England, think it can put this WSBK Ten Kate CBR1000RR from 2007 up for $190,000?
Well, it happens to have done something very special.
This is the Fireblade that James Toseland piloted to win the WSBK Championship in 2007. It's a legitimate piece of history, and someone went to a lot of effort to keep it looking that way.
