Own your own MotoGP bike
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing have aligned with renowned collector car and motorsport auction house, RM Sotheby’s, for a special offering: the chance to own a 2023 KTM RC16.
A sealed auction will be held for the opportunity to purchase a fully functional and ready-to-run MotoGP prototype.
The bidding will start from Monday, 26th May and last until Thursday, 29th May.
Brad Binder used the KTM RC16 in question in the 2023 MotoGP championship and was responsible for setting the current top speed record of 366.1km/h, clocked at the Mugello circuit and the Italian round of the series.
In 2023 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing climbed the podium nine times between Grands Prix and Sprints and Binder finished 4th in the Riders Championship as KTM classified as runners-up in the Constructors standings.
