apples and oranges :tup:

And also cost 950 million dollars. There are other cars that cost probably 1/32 the cost that can do over 200mph. Try and find a bike that cost 1/32 the cost of a bike doing the stuff in Red Bull rampage and get back to me.

Not trying to say bikes aren't expensive but you really do get what you pay for. The margins on bikes isn't even close to the margins on your street car (no 350% mark up).

Also keep in mind part of that cost is a lifetime no questions asked warranty for the wheels and a lifetime manufacturer defect warranty for frame with a lifetime "no fault" warranty (wholesale replacement).

So think of it as lifetime defect for the engine due to manufacture defect and wholesale replacement for over rev etc

The lifetime warranty is only valid if you don't fall off the side of a mountain or get hit by on coming traffic lol.

Bikes have zero protection. F1 cars have the absolute highest crash safety standards.

So sure you can replace the bike. But you'd be hard pressed replacing body parts.

Reviving this thread, who's actually gotten the Greddy X KW coilovers that can chime in on their experience with them? I am going to sell my Koni Yellows and was looking at the KW V3 but then I saw the Greddy X was designed with KW and held to the same standards. The lower price and the fact that KW designed it to the same standards got my curiosity but I have searched and haven't that anyone has gotten them.
