Italian rider Danilo Petrucci became one of the most distinguished characters in the 2020 MotoGP by winning in France in wet conditions. In fact.n 2018, he ended the season in 8th place with 144 points.
Now you have the chance to enjoy riding a unique piece of motoring history right away.Thanks to Race Bike Mart. The auction house has put a sell on Petrucci’s MotoGP CRT bike.
While Danilo Petrucci is more than familiar with the challenges of the MotoGP World Championship. He hasn’t always had an easy ride of it. For those unaware, he started his MotoGP career with an Ioda Racing Team machine in 2012.
From there, if you’re familiar with the history of said team, you would know that they were facing many troubles and could not keep up with the pace.
Apart from finding themselves at the back of the grid in every race, Petrucci also struggled to finetune this bike for better results throughout that period and stood 11th during that season.
BMW Engine
If you plan to flex your muscles—and your bank account—may we suggest you take a look at lot 16, Danilo Petrucci’s Suter BMW CRT race bike (above).
For the love of speed and glory in competition. The Italian MotoGP racer used this machine during his 2012 season racing historic motorcycles in World Championship events under the FIM organization.
Just eight years old, this limited edition BMW Suter motorcycle is now being offered to bidders with an estimated price tag that has all the makings of a racing pedigree.
However, we don’t see the same engine on this GP machine. Instead, we see a BMW Superbike Factory engine with a Race Kit2 electronics package.
The bike has a BMW FACTORY SUPERBIKE ENGINE with BMW Race Kit2 electronics tuned back for “easier” riding at track days for the owner.
