But where on earth can you spend £6000 on a bike.
That is a BRAND NEW Tornado, on the road!!!! 160mph italian sports bike, or 1" framed pushbike?
Where can they justify £6000? Not even a carbon bike, with oil front and rear dampers, pukka gears and carbon wheels would cost £6k surely? 
It all adds up, luckily there’s less parts on a bmx prob only spent a lil over 1k on mine over the years

thats madness
Sheer and utter madness
I used to think the bikes, all aliminium (when I was about 10 ), oil and air compressed suspension, think they were GT's or something, they had pukka bikes. Banana rear swinging arms, disc brakes before they were mainstream etc.. But they were only £1.5k (had the top Shinamo (?Sp) twist gears which were brand spanking new out).
£6k, sniggers to myself, bent over, lubed, poked, creampied, more lube, more poking, more creampies.....
