£1k on a bike isn’t the same as 1million on a car though is it? I’d say £10k on a bike might be more comparable. Would the function of a £10k bike make it worthwhile spending so much more than a £2k bike? (Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any £10k bikes, but you know what I mean!)
Back to the original thread, I can see where your coming from – 1million on a reworked Aston rather than on a brand new design (cf Bugatti). I’ve got to say that despite being interested in cars for years, Astons do very little for me, and I find it very difficult to see why they charge so much anyway. So no, I wouldn’t buy it. Perhaps if I had the money I might buy a classic Ferrari for a million, but I’d have to have an awful lot of money.
