I agree with you.... the Alta's are pricey.... But, if you look at the quality of all of the components, the frame design and execution (perfect welds), attention to detail, etc. you start to get the picture. Probably the biggest stumbling block ($$$$) with virtually all electric motorcycles right now is building in small batches. Larger production runs could change prices tremendously.... I still have to have an Alta SM.... The thing just makes me laugh inside my helmet !!!!
