Also, thumper.

Yeah but considering it's category, I doubt a lot of people that are within said niche are going to notice the difference. Heck, I'm not even a beginner and I don't know what difference that will make.
If however you're right and the price is set a premium because it's not marketed towards the "casual/starter bikes" category, and they're more aimed towards as "track toys", then I suppose I can't judge the fairness of the price, as I'm not, and never have been in that category
