I'd like to see that guy's car. If he doesn't drive an inexpensive car, but instead spent tens of thousands on a mere mode of transportation, we know he doesn't take his own advice.
He apparently rides a 10 yr old Ninja 250, so he applies the same flawed reasoning to his motorized transportation. The flawed logic present at the start of his video continues... I mean there MUST be more R+D spent on a 250cc motorcycle because it's an engine, right? Why would you need to spend any R+D money on a carbon fiber bike frame, and support pro tour teams to develop that frame. That's free, right? It's just comedy. And apparently everything is mass produced in China for $2.00 a day per worker.

That's the way it's supposed to be. Right??
Exactly. My car is 13 years old and has 150k on it. I'd rather buy another bike for more than $600.
