Or compare the Kawasaki to a $800 Trek 1.1
Panigale is the definition of a mid life crisis bike.
All i'm saying is, yeah, you can get a mid life moto for the same price as a mid life crisis bicycle.
Sure, there are other Panigale models above it but it's still top of the line
Yeah a Panigale liter bike is around $20K.
Arguably, the 899 is a better bike and it's "only" $15K.
I don't disagree cars and motos can cost a lot more.
There's other bikes out there too, British Cycling olympic track bike the framesets are around $50,000.
