A set of wheels being sold as "second hand" on Bike Hub for 55K (Apparently 75K new) ... so cheaper to get the carbon wheels for the motorbike instead.

Even bicycle wheels, I can never really understand how a "highend" bicycle wheel can cost more than a motorbike wheel, here we have a bespoke Carbon wheelset for a motorbike, made in small quantities, has to meet much higher safety standards, and is ised in some of the most expensive motocycles in the world, yet is still cheaper than many bicycle wheels???? The mind boggles
