Ok I'll agree with that, it won't get you the exact same bike. But 5.9k will get you a Madone which is pretty damn close to the bike he rode in '03. How much would have to pay for Rossi's '03 bike? My point and I believe the point that was trying to be made by the other poster is that the average joe has the means to buy a state of the art bicycle. Most of do not have the means to buy a state of the art racing m/c. Even at 10k for the "ultimate" racing bicycle compared to a GP bike or a F1 car it's nothing.
