"I'm a human being of agency past times no means..." -Roger Miller
$10,000 for a dirt bike? For what amounts to essentially a toy? I struggled to swallow that one, every bit a friend told me the out of door cost for his novel KTM. Don't larn me wrong, I'm certain amongst all the whiz bang engineering it's worth every penny, but I wondered how whatever human being, peculiarly men of our rather ahem 'advanced' historic menstruum could exploit in addition to actually accept payoff of such technology. Sure electrical rootage is nice, endlessly adjustable suspension, butter smoothen ability everywhere inwards the rev range, lightweight, 1 finger brakes in addition to on in addition to on.
I'd company to nation well-nigh whatever motorbike built inwards the in conclusion xx years is capable of far to a greater extent than than the average rider. Yet nosotros all the same want, no, demand, more. And nosotros pay for it. Or should I say, nosotros brand payments on it...
At what betoken produce nosotros accomplish the degree of absurdity? Or hitting the outer limits of diminishing returns? When produce nosotros finally brand the distinction betwixt want and need?
Who knows?
