Car branded bikes...must be good.

Take the new Ferrari bike for 2013. Its a ferrari. Must be fan-ferrari-tastic then?

From the Avocet sports stable. Same as the Viking range. Yeah!

and still they keep coming.............................

vorsprung durch technik? er, no!

Aside from the tyres I can't see any non-proprietary parts on that bike. I bet not even Audi holds spares.
It's already ugly and it'll get even uglier when its held together with gaffer tape.

All the design and thinking power couldn't hide the cables, I don't feel so bad about my Brompton cable runs now.

"The type of person who has enough money to buy one is likely to be a very driven individual”. Can’t see room for the chauffeur.

THESE, (mostly), prove beyond doubt that there is simply no accounting for taste

Dear god. I'd definitely find room in the garage for #11, but as for the rest ...

That looks as if someone's tried to reinvent the Allsop softride:

And failed.

This cost of producing these bikes is probably justified by the free viral advertising (i.e. threads like this). Would £25k even break even on the manufacturing and design cost for such limited runs? (I don't think they get paid pennies at these companies).

 

[Browser]

Gods, £25,00!?!?!?!!?!? I could have my dream 'bent for a less than half of that, or a stable of three or four very very nice ones. The old phrase more money than sense springs to mind here...........

Or twenty Dawes Galaxies.
