yea it's nuts mang, for very little material compared to car stuff...and very tiny components...
bigger is better...when i started doing stuff to my car again, everything seemed so 'cheap'...relatively speaking...

but WTF is up with this car suspension crap...coil over this, strut this, etc...it should all be easy, like on a bike!

 

it is rediculous. but ill probably end up getting one.

 

alot of R&D went in cars mufflers (flowmasters, etc) too n they dont cost $300+ lol. Hell for $300 I can run dualls with all alum pipes. the cost of a full system on a bike I can run dualls with SS pipes.

Its bikes are a luxury vehicle. Not a have to have thing. So thats a reason for the cost too.
