Coming from the world of performance cars...I guess the bike thing seems like small potatoes to me. You could buy a $30K+ sports car and immediately drop $2500+ on proper wheels/tires, additional $1500-2000 on suspension, $4K on engine mods (headers, exhaust, intake, tune, shifter, etc) then anything cosmetic you want...buying a $2500 bike then adding an additional $1-2K over the next year doesn't seem to bother me that much.

...that's why I gave up on performance cars and go a bike LOL...
