Thanks, definitely happening. I can tell you that I’ve already found some very interesting mechanical differences when compared with a standard production bike.
Your content is engaging, genuine and from a riders perspective. Devoid of bling, smackdowns, or athletic GF's. Watching them summons memories of bench racing stories after a great ride. OK, from a fellow KTM owner (2016 KTM 1290 Superduke R Special Edition) and ex-road race track junkie, your bikes are very rare and cool.
Absolutely insane. Congrats on the purchase. Looking forward to seeing it on the track. Curious as to what classes Walter is going to let you run this, if at all 🤣
First off congratulations👏 Second, what’s tripping me out is the 60hp out of a 250cc, that only weighs 180ish Lbs, WOW!🤯 What kind of torque does this little KTM beast put out? Sweet! Can’t wait to see the next video on it. Yay!😃
DUKIE!!! So great to hear from you as always. Isn't that absolutely insane what they are pushing out of a single-cylinder 250cc motor? It definitely makes sense that the services/rebuilds are so frequent. I'm not sure about torque specs, but I am excited and terrified all at once. I will try and get the bike on a dyno soon (along with the others) and share results. Thanks as always. :)
My/The 2018 Vulcan S 650 only has 54 to 57 hp with 46ft. Lbs of torque, and weighs almost 3 times as much , with it all loaded up ,but this little 250cc has more horsepower and torque..!!! ..??? Whoa 😮 I also have a 2022 Zx6r and a 2020 Z900abs, so I can imagine how fast and quick that thing jumps up into real quickness and the ability or capabilities to reach those speeds going around a track , going to enjoy watching you take that little beast to the track !!! Good luck 🍀 and thx 🙏 for sharing
@@allancooper3865 thanks Allan, I think where it’ll really shine is IN the corners. Supposedly these things can carry more corner speed than a MotoGP (in some corners). The question is can I go fast enough to be able to use the suspension to hold the line 😅😅😅
@@tzsteve33 oh man the 2strokes are just incomparable, the other “grail” bike for me would be a Suter MMX500. The specs on that alone are enough to make me giddy! 🤩
170cm is an average height of most Moto3 riders, i mean if ur doing diet too might be u can competiting on Gran Prix race with this bike against Foggia too! Such an honor for having to GP race used bike especially VR46 sign on it and showing to us, thanks for sharing your happiness too!!! Cant wait watching another collection in your garage.
Thanks so much! I will definitely be bringing it out on track. I'm in Houston so the first place will be MSRH, we're going to try and make it to Barber in August as well. I heard a lot of the ASO crowd does that event?
Awesome video! Such an awesome little machine. You're going to love. Next level involvement but ever so rewarding. Looking forward to the next instalment. (Oh and congrats/commiserations on the almost podium with the mini bikes).
Thank you so much! Hahaha I usually do a better job of putting onscreen conversion of rates, I really love that we have a diverse viewership of the channel, goes to show you motorcycles are loved the world over! :D Where are you based out of?
@@vtranmoto Tasmania Australia! The cool thing about these bikes is they have travelled the world over probably more times than you or I have. I know my Kalex has done at least 4 world trips!
Haha hell yeah man! Were you thinking SuperDuke 1290? :D I’m taking it to the track next month at Barber which also has the world’s largest private motorcycle collection. Should be a fun weekend!
All in is around $50k mark, gpmotorbikes.com/inventory (Amatumoto) is the guys you should talk to if you're looking for a special race or vintage bike. They have relationships throughout Europe to source all some pretty spectacular machines. They just sold Alex Marquez's Moto2 and they might still have a Bagnaia Moto2 available. Another pretty special one is Scott Redding's WSBK V4R. Have a look!
@@PetroHead it is *significantly* over $100K, my understanding is its a little over $200k. Which boggles the mind. The CBR based Moto2s (2018 and earlier) are around $50k mark and the newer Triumph based Moto2s are $70-80kish. Would be cool to eventually get one of those, but what I've found is the prototype/GP bikes are just a *hassle* to keep up with. My favorite bike is my RC8C, just flip the switch, hit the ignition and off you go. :)
Viet, haven't checked in with your channel since you added the RC8C. Congrats on your SIGNED VR46 Moto3! Also, learned that you are a fellow Washingtonian?
I am 1000% jealous of your Moto3 bike, especially with the VR autograph. I also am a Foggia fan and a former Honda RS125R racer. Would you mind sharing what this cost? I have no frame of reference for a used Moto3 bike value. I just have to repeat how jealous I am!
Thank you! It’s about $50,000 all in; in Europe I’ve seen a few sell for $30-40,000 just depends on the condition and its history. In this case, we have a fully functional and refreshed 2019 Moto3 + a bit of history hence the premium.
@@vtranmoto Thank you for the info! While I don't have that kind of cash (I just added last week a 2001 Ducati 748 for a mere $5,000), I think the particular bike you bought is worth the money. Not just a Moto3 bike, not just one actually raced or signed by Vale, but one that looks to be in pristine condition. I hope you have a pipeline for obtaining all the parts you need for proper maintenance. I don't imagine your nearest KTM dealer has them in the stockroom! And I sincerely hope you've been enjoying the bike this past year. Have you stopped making videos?
Hey bro I know it's been a couple of years but I love these little Moto3 bikes and would love to get my own one since there are a good few for sale, how much did you pay for this one and if you ever took it to a track day and crashed it would a KTM dealership repair it for you? Great video!
Hey man, thanks for watching. Moto3 prices can vary a bit based on history/pedigree and condition. On the lower end I’ve seen them around $30,000 (USD) and on the higher end like this one it’s closer to $45-50,000. This one was a bit higher priced since it was part of the VR46 Team, fully functional, and was refreshed prior to the sale. A local KTM dealership would not be able to service this - the GP engines are an entirely different animal than your standard production bike. Before buying, have a look around to see if there’s someone in your region or area that has familiarity with 250cc GP engines like Honda NSF250s etc. I’ve had a few laps on it and it is absolutely unreal. Puts any other bike I’ve ever tried to same in terms of “raceyness” but it is a pain in the butt for upkeep unless you just so happen to have a team behind you (I don’t). So for now it’s become a statement piece in my living room (sad I know).
Please reach out to gpmotorbikes.com/inventory/ and tell them that Viet sent you! They will treat you well. 👍 congrats and good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Do u recommend any places to look for retired bikes for good price Well I mean there obviously going to be really really expensive but do u have any recommendations of we're to look and congratulations
Hi! Absolutely, I recommend gpmotorbikes.com/inventory, the dealer specializes in retired race bikes both vintage era and modern era. Lots of really amazing machines, the owner also races in the AHRMA historical racing series so he has *alot* of knowledge. If you’re in the US you’ll be working with Tom and if you’re in Europe it’ll be JuanPe, tell them Viet sent you! 👍
Hi Ryan! Sorry it took so long. I keep my Moto3 in a separate garage, ha. So I finally went to take a look and it is a WP Suspension steering damper, which makes sense as it’s a KTM Moto3 and it’s completely in house (KTM owns WP). Hope that helps and thank you for watching!
There’s a dealer based out of Barcelona that specializes in GP/race bikes. amatumoto.com/ It’s pretty fun to window shop their bikes! They’ve got some special ones for sure.
Unfortunately I’ve only had the chance to ride it once at Barber. I just wrapped up my racing season and received the roller starter from Italy so now I can start the bike. 😅 I’ll be spending time on it and sharing vids with the moto3 in the coming weeks!
I take it the supplier will also be able to source parts for you when they're needed. What about the mechanic, do you have one you trust to work on it for you?
Great questions, parts are sourced through the dealer and conveniently a few folks race Moto3s in various series in the US. It’s a small community so I’ve learned a lot just talking with them. Regarding mechanic, I have a mechanic who I super trust, he does all the work on my RC8C but no experience with a Moto3 motor. The plan is to do a shakedown at Barber in a few weeks, if I fall head over heels and the Moto3 becomes my regular track bike then I think we will order a spare motor and can do swaps, while one is sent into Florida for service (Florida is where our moto3 dealer/mechanic is located). Much more hassle than a turnkey trackbike but hopefully the experience warrants it!
@@vtranmoto yeah this sounds awesome tbh. Insane power to weight is what it's all about. Glad you're in a place where you can afford this and pursue your passions.
I dream of buying one of these one days, running it round the track, just for fun, maybe enter a club race, if i can even get into one, and just have an amazing bike, it would be awesome
It’s a head turner at the tracks I’ll tell you that! It was absolutely hilarious just starting the bike and seeing reactions (it’s insanely loud). Very quick and agile and insanely fun to toss around. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@vtranmoto thanks for the detailed reply, rare that RUclipsrs care enough, and you’ve just helped fuel my love for the bike more, really appreciate it :)
@@boxer5755 absolutely! when you are ready to invest in one, let me know. I can make introductions to the people that can secure you the Moto3 (or other special race bikes).
I actually filmed some of it but I got absolutely destroyed by the heat and don’t have enough footage to “complete” the video :( I’m planning on filming the Speedsportz endurance though!
There’s the Formula 3, 2, and 1. Just from a performance perspective it would wallop any machine in F3 and 2, but would be a struggle against the sheer power of F1 bikes. Though at our level and at the size of the circuits we have, I don’t think it’s that big of an advantage. Moto3 bikes can turn a 2:16 at COTA so there’s still plenty of power!
@@sparkydelivers I'm going to take it out to MSRH in a few weeks, I think if it goes well, I'll probably enter it in a few races next season, I'll need to get a new set of bodywork though!
Hey Kory, I finally received the roller starter from Italy last week, this past weekend I was at a 6 hour endurance race and next weekend I have my final race round on the RC8C, so I’d like to wrap all of that up then focus my attention on the Moto3. :) I’m itching to do more with it but right now the focus is on ending the season strong 👍 thank you!
It is a mechanism to help prevent the rider from getting into a false neutral (can be very dangerous on track). The rider presses a button that allows them to shift from 1st to Neutral. Otherwise neutral is gated. On a road bike, the shift pattern is 1 > N > 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. On the Moto3 it is N > 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 with a gate between N and 1. Hope that makes sense!
This one was a little under $50,000, though you can find retired Moto3s anywhere from $25,000 on up. It entirely depends on the condition, Team associated, and mileage (this one is under 900 miles and still in excellent shape + Rossi’s autograph). Thanks for watching!
Great question, apparently when it’s a cold start you need to use a roller to get the oil flowing a bit before firing it up, additionally it’s very hard in general to bump start it (cold) due to its very high compression. When it’s up and running and everything is warmed up I think it’s easier/possible to bump start (as we see in the races when the pilot has an off and re-enters the race).
😂😂😂 cảm ơn bạn! Xin lỗi nhưng tiếng việt của Việt không tốt. Gia đình Việt chuyển đến Texas khi Việt còn nhỏ. Việt rất vui khi người Việt Nam xem video của mình. :)
Haha good call, I’m going to take it to Barber next month. If it turns out I’m addicted to riding I think a second set of clothes will definitely be needed. 😁
This is badass on a whole other level! So happy for you and can't wait to see it ripping!

There’s the Formula 3, 2, and 1. Just from a performance perspective it would wallop any machine in F3 and 2, but would be a struggle against the sheer power of F1 bikes. Though at our level and at the size of the circuits we have, I don’t think it’s that big of an advantage. Moto3 bikes can turn a 2:16 at COTA so there’s still plenty of power!
@@vtranmoto So, can we expect to see it out there in 2023?
@@sparkydelivers I'm going to take it out to MSRH in a few weeks, I think if it goes well, I'll probably enter it in a few races next season, I'll need to get a new set of bodywork though!
@@vtranmoto I look forward to seeing you race it, if all goes well... and different bodywork for racing is a great idea!
When are you going to post some updates on this?
Hey Kory, I finally received the roller starter from Italy last week, this past weekend I was at a 6 hour endurance race and next weekend I have my final race round on the RC8C, so I’d like to wrap all of that up then focus my attention on the Moto3. :) I’m itching to do more with it but right now the focus is on ending the season strong 👍 thank you!
I’m curious as to what goes into the engine/transmission services
I'll learn and share! :)
Give the address where you got this BK

What is gated(locked) neutral?
It is a mechanism to help prevent the rider from getting into a false neutral (can be very dangerous on track). The rider presses a button that allows them to shift from 1st to Neutral. Otherwise neutral is gated. On a road bike, the shift pattern is 1 > N > 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. On the Moto3 it is N > 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 with a gate between N and 1. Hope that makes sense!
@@vtranmoto So the gear pattern is all down and not 1 up and 5 down.
@@himanshuborah1128 that's correct!
@@vtranmoto thank you sir for clearing my doubts...🙏
@@vtranmoto In some videos I have seen 7 gears in moto3 bike. Is it true? And is the gear system is all same in a MotoGP bike..
How much was it
This one was a little under $50,000, though you can find retired Moto3s anywhere from $25,000 on up. It entirely depends on the condition, Team associated, and mileage (this one is under 900 miles and still in excellent shape + Rossi’s autograph). Thanks for watching!
@@vtranmoto that is so cool I would love one of those
In the KTM RC250R only Motorex oils and lubricants.
Can u not bump Start without a starter
Great question, apparently when it’s a cold start you need to use a roller to get the oil flowing a bit before firing it up, additionally it’s very hard in general to bump start it (cold) due to its very high compression. When it’s up and running and everything is warmed up I think it’s easier/possible to bump start (as we see in the races when the pilot has an off and re-enters the race).
@@vtranmoto oh ye that true I'm so gelous
So jealous
thank you >.

How much it cost??
Total cost with the starter and shipping is over $50,000 USD 👍
@@vtranmotoFor what it is that’s actually not so bad. Awesome thing to have. 👍
@@sp00ky1969 agreed, very special machine with an awesome story/history - love it!

Get that steed stripped and a new set of clothes on asap!
Haha good call, I’m going to take it to Barber next month. If it turns out I’m addicted to riding I think a second set of clothes will definitely be needed. 😁
Đẹp quá anh🤙🏻🫶🏻
Cảm ơn, cảm ơn!!!
