You are correct in that we are the crackhead equivalent, in that C&Vers live for that ten-dolla high. That bike ain't for the cheapest collectors on earth.
That bike is for those who party with a kilo of pure Columbian goodness. Buying a six-figure replica of a janky old plane? Go ahead, throw in one of those $5K bikes. Can't spend six figures on a janky old replica? How about a "cheap" bike in the spirit of the company. Aviation rich guys know nothing about bikes.
