Is that the most expensive motorcycle in SA?

[Odinson]

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.

Nope.

 

650k. And I'm not sure this is the most expensive either.

[Cippo]

This baby will easily put you back over 800k.

I get what you are eluding at, we have to compare apples to apples. A super bicycle needs to be compared to a super bike and a super car.

 

Not fair to compare it to a motorbike of the same price, it's not in the same class. 

[Dexter-morgan]

We went to "race" a couple of weeks ago, one used motor cycle for R999 000. I will look for the pic.

 

 

[Furbz]

I’m pretty sure I saw the Pino Bolide listed at more than R300k?

 

Thanks Patch.

have amended my price to R301k

[Underachiever]

I would rather spend 250k on a car.

I'll rather spend R250k on a deposit for a nice piece of property.

You should rather spend it it on some BTC!

There is a thread about it. I tried searching it but can't remember the title exactly. It's not what you think. A sad story tbh. I see you joined last year, probably happened just before you joined.

If I am thinking about the same jersey. I will keep searching for the thread I am thinking about.

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.

I had the rare opportunity to be on the other side recently. Wanted to get a second bike.

My wife asked why?

I said, well you have two tennis racquets...

[Duane_Bosch]

I'd love to have that new Dogma (not in orange & white)

 

Because that would mean I'd already have

 

A house in the Alps

A Porsche

An orange wife with a set of bolt ons

A house in Fresnaye

A BMW S1000RR

A KTM 450 EXC

 

We're all just a little jealous of the okes who ride those. Admit it.

[Andrew Steer]

I reckon this one cost Mr Steinhoff way more...

 

[The expat cyclist]

I fully understand why some things are expensive as there are special materials, technology , RnD etc in high end products.  Sometimes the price tag of a R100k cartier vs a 10K casio for something that does the same thing is crazy but i get that the one item is special, has exotic materials etc. vs just being functional/

 

But this bicycle thing has me stumped.  Take this bike for R259k and compare it to a top of the line Ducati Superbike also from Italy .  Both have high end parts both have RnD both are cutting edge.  But the one has a motor and capability of reaching R330kmh and accelarating at the speed of sound whilst the other you have to pedal.  

 

How do they justify the same price tag!!!!

Actually, they don't have to justify the price tag...the oke buying the bike does.

If you find someone that is willing to pay that for a bicycle, ask them why and I guarantee you it will not be the same as any reason given to justify the price tag the seller proposed.

It will be purchased because that person is willing and able, to purchase it at that price.

You will never find a gu buying that bike and then says: well this bike I believe can make me win the Argus...
