It's a trainer. Highly doubtful anyone could ride a smelly and noxious smoke belching 250 anywhere near it's potential on that glorified go kart track...

Its a good trainer indeed. I am selling now my Kayo MiniGp bike to buy a 300 bike to ride on small tracks.

Hello,

is that you Vini (Vincent Vini ?) that post a comment in French on the video ?

The objectiv of this bike is not max power, it's to have as Thomas and Johann talks about it, a bike where the limits is not on the bike but on the pilot. Something that can pass faster the curves, lot faster that a Supermotard bike, where you can enter the curves by sliding and gaz.
It's a mono as he uses to ride on Supermotard, same behavior but a very good frame/chassis to get closer to what MotoGP gives.
Very interesting interview and yes, 20 000 € for that is heavy for us but as a learning/training rig it's nothing cuz it will cost peanuts to fix in case of crash.
And they want to sell this bike for other training plans even renting it for the day.

Zarco is looking for solution cuz as they said, they can't ride their MotoGP whenever they want to train so they are looking for something to get close to that.
And that's why Beon did this one.

@KG : the KTM 190 seems to be a very good one too, anyway the smaller the bike is, the more you have to work your curves and the funnier is gets.
