Not really 10% anymore, you can get a new one for around $50k right now.

Well when you put it like that, ok. But 8k vs <1k. Then again, if I've got the scrilla for the Desmo then I've probly got another 8k laying around for the exhaust.

Sweet I'll run right out and get one.

That exhaust is sweet, way better than undertails. Undertails are so 2002.

Damn, $8800 isnt bad for an exaust when a foot rest kit is $5k

I know we're laughing. But, those prices make sense. When you're buying a very pricey low volume moto gp bike there will be little demand for aftermarket parts since that particular market is so small.

The guys making these exhausts have to make it worth their while. And since sales volume has to be low, the price is fitting.
