How much is too much?

I was wondering what you'd consider too much money to spend on a new bike?

I'd say over £3k unless it's for racing

    What a silly question.
    What amount of money someone will spend on a new anything depends upon their disposable income.

    That all depends on the size of your bank balance, how much you ride, how seriously you take riding and your financial priorities.
    For some people £5k is about right, for others £300 is more than enough.

    One has some disposable income, but one does not appear to own one of these new anythings.
    May one enquire where one may aquire said new anything Mr Mcgee?

    I have a mate who bikes and is on over 100k a year (dollars). He has a 600 dollar Giant. He loves it and rides it to all the bike parks. I earn roughly average British wag and have a 2.5k bike with prob another 500 spent on it.

    Its a bit of a silly question or not worded very good.

    How much do you think is reasonable and acceptable to spend on a car. Id say half a years wage as dont want to be a 10 pence millionaire!? See what I mean.
