And also cost 950 million dollars. There are other cars that cost probably 1/32 the cost that can do over 200mph. Try and find a bike that cost 1/32 the cost of a bike doing the stuff in Red Bull rampage and get back to me.
Not trying to say bikes aren't expensive but you really do get what you pay for. The margins on bikes isn't even close to the margins on your street car (no 350% mark up).
Also keep in mind part of that cost is a lifetime no questions asked warranty for the wheels and a lifetime manufacturer defect warranty for frame with a lifetime "no fault" warranty (wholesale replacement).
So think of it as lifetime defect for the engine due to manufacture defect and wholesale replacement for over rev etc
