Trust me......it can get expensive!!!
Yeah I know how it feels when the modification bug bites you! I am also a motorsports enthusiast and have spent wayyyyy too much money modifying my sports car. I can't imagine this will be much different.
I really don't want to spend more than $1,000 on each bike (I am also getting one for my girlfriend), and have heard that the Kikapu, even the base model, is a good bike as long as you understand what you are getting. I don't want to spend my money on something that's not worth buying, but it's not like the Kikapu is a bad bike, is it?
