Would you pay £50,000 for this?

YOU'RE LOOKING at possibly the last unused Ducati Supermono racer in existence, which is up for sale on eBay right now.
The bike's the 14th Supermono to roll off Ducati's production line and was manufactured in 1995, making this model one of just 25 of the 572cc versions produced.
In its day the Supermono was one of the most desirable bikes around. Weighing just 269lbs and producing in excess of 81hp, the race-ready single is renowned for its surprising turn of speed and pin-sharp cornering ability.
The starting price? £49,999. That's £10,000 more than a like-new Desmosedici MotoGP road bike.
Mmmmm.
Given the choice, which one would you buy?
