Default Cost of OEM parts is ridiculous

I just can't get over how much Honda charges for OEM parts. I just purchased a 97 cbr600f3 and need a seat cowl. Its $81??! A new seat is $239! The front cowl is $74? Bolts go for like $4 oem LOLLL. No wonder why everyone buys aftermarket. /rant

Yep, know how you feel, it's a legalised robbery alright, thats why there is such a good range of aftermarket stuff. Honda isn't as bad as a lot of european bike manufacturers. Have a look at the cost of some of the replacement parts for the MV Augusta for instance.
