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?

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

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
