See, I kinda struggle with that (a lot!) too. I even spent my youth working part time in a local bike shop and STILL can't get my head around how/why (some) bikes with no engines cost more than (some) bikes WITH engines.

Much as I completely get 'why' spending more on a mountain bike will get you better / lighter parts etc - I still struggle with the fact that I paid about £1200 for a 5 year old Husky dirt bike, which is just as well sprung etc as a good mountain bike, but yet also comes with an engine in it.

Maaaa'd!
