TNT Sports is the new U.S. broadcast home of MotoGP races.

Each constructor owns a team called their factory team, and most then provide engines and bikes to one or more satellite teams. For Factory teams both riders must use the same engine but Satellite teams can have different engine specs for different riders.

The Honda RC213V and Ducati Desmosedici GP can range from $1 million to $4 million. This reflects the advanced technology and materials used in their construction. What Makes MotoGP Bikes So Expensive? The high cost is due to using expensive materials like carbon and titanium.

The top class on 2 wheels is a guarantee for thoroughbred motor sport. Bikes are lightweight at circa 157kg, but pack 260hp and can reach speeds exceeding 220mph. Their 1,000cc, four-stroke naturally-aspirated engines make them powerful beasts.
