Ah, I see. You are 3 quicker on this bike. Well worth the money then.It’s a lot quicker than previous bikes for the same effort.
I suspect a £12K bike isn't any faster than a £6K bike, except maybe in the lab.
Im sure the OP didnt mean to leave the price in the initial post. It will have been completely accidental.I suspect a £12K bike isn't any faster than a £6K bike, except maybe in the lab. I'll probably still buy something really special when I retire, though.

Yeah that’s right.Ah, I see. You are 3 quicker on this bike. Well worth the money then.
Quite right. I couldn’t care less if it was slower. It puts a massive grin on my face.If it puts a smile on his face does it matter what the gains are? Happiness is priceless.
That’s the Italians for you.None of the £11,999 psychological kiddology pricing BS either, so siree. It's a twelve bagger, no messing about!
The real world difference doesn’t become apparent until you really start pressing on. With the lower spec bikes I have, it becomes difficult to get them to go any quicker, without a lot more effort, this bike takes off like a stabbed rat, even when pressing on, with a minimal increase in effort.If you could test it in sterile conditions, it would no doubt prove to be fractionally quicker, even if the difference was only 0.01 mph on the average speed. However, the big question is how a bike will perform when it has to interact with real-world conditions. Will the performance gain be the same, will it be zero, will it be more?

You’d suspect wrong. A 6K bike is not going to be rubbish, but at the very top end of the bike spec ranges, the differences are not subtle.I suspect a £12K bike isn't any faster than a £6K bike, except maybe in the lab. I'll probably still buy something really special when I retire, though.
