Having seen a BSB ZX10R totalled today in race 1, then rebuilt from the ground up only to be totalled again in race 2, I can see just where the funds go......
Significantly faster than you.....

£110k on a bike alone, it's a big cost!
But I suppose the engine will have a lot of expensive bits replaced, cam shafts etc and have a lot of man hrs spent on gas flowing etc. Then new forks and shock, electronics, data logging, brakes, wheels, body work, exhaust.
Does the frame and swing arm remain stock or to they build in adjustment on the head stock and swing arm pivot?

Most manufacturers allow swingarm pivot adjustment in the stock chassis and concentric head bearing are used to provide adjustment in the trail/rake.  Power wise a lot of the motors are surprisingly stock....

Then £110k sea like a lot of money if the motor is reasonably stock!!!
