5k is what I'd consider a midrange bike, in that case. That would get you a very decent full suspension bike, but without getting into things like carbon frames etc.

You could easily spend twice that.

    I love how you respond to a guy going "people are pricks about bike pricing" with an "ackshulaly $2k is cheap".

    Zero self-awareness. Zero social skills.

    I'm just laughing about what people think the sport costs, vs what it actually does.

    A truly top of the line bike is over 20k NZD.

    Yes. You're the person we're making fun of. We get it. You need not keep reminding us how awkward, obnoxious, and oblivious you are.

    If you want to talk to people with people skills, oh boy did you come to the wrong place.

    Also, regardless of what you think, someone thinking 2k of whatever currency was being discussed is an expensive bike is just plain funny. That's a midrange bike these days.
