CF made more money in aerospace and military weapons as far back as the mid 1960's in parts of aircraft and on the Apollo capsules and the lunar excursion module, then it was used extensively in the F117, and in civilian world the 727 used a lot of CF parts. So I doubt CF manufactures had bikes in mind either for awhile, and even today aerospace and military weapons and CF parts made a lot more money for the CF manufactures than bikes ever did or ever will.
