$10k Intense 951 Build

I did some figuring at it was around 9k not considering the custom ti bolts.

 

Gold nitrided titanium bolts are about $4 a piece, so it wouldn't be much more expensive than you've already figured.

 

So, if you add the fork.... you could have had it closer to 7k.... So I could easily see hitting 10k on a full bling build

Definitely, you could spend 10 grand if you really wanted to. I'm sure someone would be more than willing to take your money:lol:

 

Does the Boxxer even work?

 

Also dont forget tax, funny how people leave little stuff like that out when they do right ups!!!

Bwahahahaha.

 

LOL!

Not for long at least...

 

Yeah but I dont know if they were saying 10k out the door or retail cost. Either way its close since some of those parts I did pricing may have been discounted.

 

O I see, when you say "Full Bling" you mean heavier and only $3000.00 more:lol:

 

Where's the Car/truck that comes with it for that price?...

 

Shit that bike cost more then the car it's leaning against:beer::lol::beer::bang:

for $10k I could built 10 bikes in multiple disciplines....and be WAY happier

 

+1k in stickers

:lol:

 

I believe the engine alone in that car is worth more than the bike cost me. That Thunderbird is not street legal and it belongs to a friend of mine. That car will pull the front wheels off the ground.:bang:


It didn't cost me 10 grand and I only ride DH, so no need for ten bikes:beer:

 

Just for the record- that bike is NOT worth more than the car it's leaning against.:beer::bang:

 

Ok ok....the bike is worth more then the STOCK version of that car w/ the racing stickers on it....lol

This was to the OP....not directed at your bike cost....

 

What engine were you running in that thunder chicken? I know they had a 302 or that crazy hard to work on 3.8 turbo motor. I think it was a 3.8. Same one they used in the Taurus but RWD.

 

C'mon now?! What country are you riding across. I assume you kid.

 

I got this for just under $8k bucks...and though it is highly debated, as of 2008 it is the fastest bone stock quad on the market. (For perspective, I'm 6'2" tall and weight approx 240 and with the KTM engine they package it with, it will EASILY bring up the wheels in 3rd gear without even breaking a sweat). I've had it to 69 mph on the dirt according to my gps and that's without even a single mod. Best part is, she gets my heart racing and all i have to do is hold on!

I understand that everyone has something they are into...but at the end of the day, is that bike really going to do that much more for you than something that "only" costs $5k bucks? I mean, I see people on mediocre bikes flying down rock-it all the time. Sure it could always be better, but there's a certain point where the cost/benefit ratio is thrown out of whack...and at that point, you are just trying to prove who's is the biggest (and i don't mean wallets).

 

my trance weighs in at 33lbs after i took the pump and underseat bag off and i ride it XC...:?:

 

The Oskar Blues bike plan

Hmm... so lets do the math: my crappy daily rider SS cost me:

$100 for the used frame.
$200 for the carbon fork.
$200 for the wheels
$100 in misc other stuff (even tho most were takeoffs form other bikes)

I think I pay abut $4.50 for a can of Ten-Fidy.

So that means I only have to figure out a way to carry 1,133 cans... :beer:

 

Then there is also the factor of did the owner "build" it or did he buy the parts and pay a shop to assemble it....then you can count labor in the costs...
