I struggle to justify the price of EMTBs when this cost less….

My KTM 390 Adventure cost less than my Intense Tazer MX Pro, and so what? They both cost less than our Tesla. And more than ... whatever else, irrelevant.

For those fear-mongering about motorcycles, there's someone just like you who thinks mountain biking is just as stupid. You should stay on the couch. It's safest. Maybe.

I love my Turbo Levo and big fan of e bikes, but my new Honda CRF 300 Rally costs £6,500 BRAMD NEW. When you look at the engineering and kit on the motorbike (ABS etc) , it does make e bikes look very expensive. And the motorbike will hold its price better. I admit I have insurance, tax and fuel to factor in on running costs for the motorbike..

Just had a week in the Pyrenees on the Honda which was epic. But promised my wife the motorbike will be sold after the trip. .

Can’t work out if it’s the Honda that’s amazing value for money, or the Speicialized that’s too expensive..

I was trying to be polite in my earlier replies but you know what? Fuck it. You’re either an idiot or a troll. Or an idiotic troll.

To be fair the insurance is more expensive because you can throw a push bike over your shoulder and walk off with it a motorbike not so much ,also most push bike insurances are a new for old policy you dont get a new ZX6r if it goes missing

Oh And my bike insurance works out at £11 a month on 10k replacement value .

Scottish Ebike insurance cheap as chips
