Think of the more substantial things you could buy for $10,500.
Think of all the nice Beretta shotguns and Weatherby hunting rifles you could buy for that price.
Think of the nice ATV or side-by-side off-road vehicle you could buy with an ENGINE.
Think of the decent second-hand powerboat or snowmobile you could buy.
Think of the decent used car, van SUV or work truck you could buy.
Think of all the furniture you could buy.
I won't ever own a gun. Or an ATV. Or a powerboat. Or a snowmobile.
Car? Yeah. I'd ensure my car was functional before I got a bike.
For me it would be "think of all the Legos I could buy or a sweet PC". And then I realize I already have way too many Legos, which is why I spent too much on a bike.
