Or you must compare high end racing bycicles with high end racing motorbikes. I guess a high end motor racing bike will cost between 100,000 and 1,000,000.
I di not think we are being screwed, we just see the market.
A brand new near race ready superbike costs around $12K USD
Just think about what you are saying for a moment, the amount of engineering, the extremely high tolerance performance parts in a motorcycle engine/suspension/electronics…ABS breaks, DOHC 4 valve cylinders, fly by wire throttle with EFI, titanium and carbon fibre parts stock!
No matter what twisted delusion you use to help you sleep at night cyclists are being screwed…
Firstly I must admit that I do know nothing about motorsports. But I just fail to beleave that the very bike which I see in an international race on tv, costs $12K.
