I agree, but lots of things were expensive before they became commonplace and cheaper. It takes time.

Cool concept. I'd love to see them in different styles and at about 10% of the currant cost.

Didn't see it mentioned in the article. Is it a one time only deal? If you crash do you throw away your $8500 suit and buy a new one?

You have to buy the top optioned bike to get it, which is probably 26-27K american. That's a lot of money.
