I do think carbon bikes are outrageous in costs.
The red Honda on the left was $5,999 MSRP in 2013 which is the bike I have. Now look at those fancy Sworks bikes and all those 10k bikes and tell me which has one rip off margins.
If you are to compare apples to apples a $6k motorcycle in terms of technology is about a $900 bicycle. But that $12k S-Works is about the equivelant of a $160k MTT turbine streetfighter
