Out of curiosity jhill. Do you ride professionally? That seems like a crazy amount of money for entertainment purposes.

Mountain bikes can be $$$$$$. I got over $3,000 in one. Get into time trials or something like that. The frames alone can be over $7,000. Then add another $4,000 on top of that.

I know, that's why i was wandering if it was for competition use. Spending that much for entertainment usage seems crazy if you aren't getting paid to do it. 3k is the most i'd spend.

It's an expensive rabbit hole to go down. Sucks you right in. I have more in my bicycle than I paid for a new yz250f

After getting into mountain bikes, things like $4k volk's don't scare me away anymore. Probably not a good thing

I'd agree to that. All rabbit holes are expensive. The question is how worth it is falling into it lol. With cars, motorcycles and houses the gains seem longer lasting in some cases. I just can't wrap my head around spending that much on a bike that requires human power to work lol.

Not professional just my main hobby. Before I left the auto field I could not afford a nice car and to really enjoy the z you have to pay for a track day which adds up real quick. My bike is free to ride anywhere, anytime. So always had a cheap car and expensive bike, plus I had been in the bike industry and kept contacts so I got them for much less $$$.

Also mass think of it like this 8k gets you the f1 of bikes that are no different than what the pros get to enjoy. Now how expensive is an f1 car in comparison?

MaysEffect

A F1 car can go over 200mph and pull 5g's through a corner at over 120mph.

I've got a lot of $$$$$ into my road bike. Carbon fiber is expensive.
