Serious question

don't think so...

What's that got to do with anything? I love my ER-5 and it's a great bike while I have my restricted licence. Having dropped my learner GN multiple times I don't think a new bike is right for me yet.

I own a couple of classics already and am well-aware of the running costs of exotics. I think a Countach may always remain a pipe dream unfortunately. I could buy it, but not sure I could afford to run it. I was at my mechanics a couple of months back and they'd just had a Testarossa in for a gearbox rebuild. $25,000. Even if I were seriously wealthy, I'd still cringe. From what I've heard, LCs are r-i-d-i-c-u-l-o-u-s-l-y expensive to maintain.

***sigh***

Then again, you only live once.

No one who 'thought' about it EVER bought one... You don't buy a car like that with your brain... Your heart or your trousers maybe.... Never your brain.....
