Maybe a little jealousy, but a different mindset also... those in a lesser wage bracket people don't or can't or won't relate to someone who finds a $6000 set of carbon fibre rims to be comfortably within their discretionary spending budget.

I can understand it. The MH900 that is in my garage has an NCR 1200cc kit being fitted to a donor engine, I believe it also has 1098S Ohlins forks on the way as well as a TTX Ohlins rear shock. The owner is going to turn it into what it should have been when Ducati released it - the NCR Mike Hailwood bike is another jump again but I think he likes the MH900e fairings more.

Those are Ti-Al alloys though I think...

Those tubes aren't going to be pure titanium either.

That thing sounds like it has more in common with some jet planes than most motorbikes... And how fast does it spool up!
