The engine is sealed, modifications are prohibited, and KTM retains first-refusal rights 💮should the new owner resel🥀l.

‘Due to♌ the specialized nature of modern MotoGP motorcycles – including pneumatic valve actuation and a mandatory unified ECU – independent private operation is not possible,’ reads the accompanying literature.

‘Upon coll♏ection, the motorcycle will be started in the presence of the buyer. Any potential track use and service options can be discussed separately with KTM ♏Factory Racing.’

The handover will take place at KTM Factory Racing in Munderfing, Austria with ‘transportation and delivery at the expense o🅘f the buyer.’&n🌊bsp;

The bike is also ‘subject to VAT on the ful🐓l purchase pric༺e’.

After Binder raised the top speed bar in 2023, Pol Espargaro tied the 366.1km/h (2🅺27.5 mph) record, again on ♚a KTM, last year.

While KTM's current record will remain under threat for the next two seasons, the change to 850𓆏cc engines means MotoGP top💖 speeds should fall significantly from 2027.
