Long Wheel Base Posted February 26, 2018 Share BMW s1000R old school now, Panigale V4 s way to go, back top topic no one said that that K10s not allowed to race yet, disc brakes. I love pinarello, (have F8) but for now the K10s disc is a no go, my 2cSYeah I must admit the Panigale(still not sure how to pronounce it) is a looker, that front end is hot. I have yet to see one in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pista Posted February 26, 2018 Share Anyone know anyone who own a Cipollini "The ONE". Possibly the most expensive bike in SA @ $21130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted February 26, 2018 Share Maybe these are expensive as a direct cost, most expensive bike in SA, TCO? I would say my Crux, it only cost about R30k with Stages and Bogus spray jobby... but the subsequent "well you bought yourself a bike" resulted in my wife getting a new house.

ChrisF Posted February 26, 2018 Share These pricing comparisons are daft. So the most expensive car in SA will buy you a good couple of houses.... we all accept it, even though the raw materials (metal, plastic, leather, carbon etc) on the car costs a fraction of what the final product does, we understand that. Bring up bicycle prices and we all suddenly want to change the yardstick. ‘Buy what you need, not what is nice to have’. Ok then? Are we all also going to drive a Toyota Etios as that has all we need in terms of transportation? We should all seriously stop being chops and let people who can afford nice things enjoy them.

ChrisF Posted February 26, 2018 Share This figure is not entirely ludicrous for a pro cyclist. Just as member of a philharmonic orchestra can spend 2 or 300k on a flute or even more on a violin... That equipment is critical to their performance. But for an average Joe to spend that money on a push bike makes me sick How many "top athletes" spend this type of money on a ride ? Surely most "top athletes" are sponsored ..... Would be most interesting to know what percentage of these bikes are actually "sold" to clients .... we all knows: What wins on Saturday sells on Monday. Sponsors MUST get the top riders to use THEIR equipment .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLuvsMtb Posted February 26, 2018 Share HEY ! I drive an Etios !! during the week .... the bikes are transported on something just a little bit nicer ..... And there is nothing wrong with that. My run-around is an i10. My weekend car is also a bit nicer. In all fairness, the Q7 is way more than what I need, I just like to have a nice car. Does it mean that I need to use all 7 seats and drive it at 240km/h to ‘justify’ it? No. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted February 26, 2018 Share Now you talking. That diavel is such a beast of a bike. I could stare at that thing all day. A diavel carbon parked next to a BMW S1000RR in my garage would make me a very happy man. Few years back an "elderly gent" ordered a 1200GS Adventure AND a new K series ... to be placed on display in his house. He never rode a motorcycle in his life, and had no intention of even starting either of these ... like the looks, and bought it as a display ! Not everybody buys for "functionality" ....
