The guys buying that bike spend 100,000 on a vacation. $78k is nothing to them. Most will never see 20,000 miles over the next 20 years.

I find most bikes interesting and can appreciate what they put into it. Mick is just stuck in a rut and apparently does not have a breadth of motorcycling experience. ;)

Not one in that article looked like it would be comfortable enough to ride around the block, let along around the state/country. Wouldn't buy one of those for $7,800.

Just the 50+ yrs of riding them is about all.

50 years of riding what? How many miles?

I appreciate all motorcycles. The more there are to chose from, the better.

You expressed such a strong opinion it felt like you have a limited love of motorcycles. Like the guys who will only ride cruisers, or the guys who hate cruisers.

All sorts of bikes,mostly British.No idea how many miles,counting them to brag about later never appealed to me.I dont like the bikes in the link,and said so.I prefer cruisers at the moment,but that hasnt allways been the case. That ok for you.

Norm doesn't need another bike as he has a extra one right now anyway.
