BIG PRICE DIFFERENCE

The cost of the machines used is so much different. MotoGP machines cost about 3.5 million for a season, while a SBK machine MIGHT go into the hundred thousands. The reason MotoGP bikes are so expensive is that everything, even the bolts, are prototype. Nothing could have been used on street variants. However, SBK machines are street bikes heavily modified. Also, MotoGP machines are 800cc while SBK are usually 1000cc(give or take a few). So yeah, about 3.4 million dollar difference between the bikes.
