It isn't cheap I'll grant you that, but anything I end up enjoying I spend way too much on, I'm probably a marketing guys dream to a degree
Saying that the R didn't effectively cost me a penny to buy, just sold my other two Dukes to purchase that, and already had quite a few bits that were either brand new, or lying around which I put onto the R.
To be honest the good thing with the R is that you do get so much with the bike, so practically no further outlay (pipes etc) necessary.
It's when I come off, or when I have it serviced and end up seeing some bling that it becomes expensive
