Im amazed at the shocked responses I get when people say "That much??? For a bike???" Yet they will happily spend 80k+ for a luxury euro vehicle and cut sick about the service costs. Or the girls spend 50k on a wedding and do not see what the fuss is about etc.

The way I see it is, if you can afford it, love doing your hobby, then its not a waste of money.
