Unit #21, only 6,986 km, 170 horsepower. Numbers alone give me chills. Yoshimura poured its soul into 50 examples built on the GSX-R1000 K1, and this one just came out of a proper service in Poland before landing in Europe. I wouldn't touch a bolt on it -- ride it as-is. This isn't a machine, it's culture. Honestly, $40,000 feels cheap.
