Lexus tries for incredible build quality and flawless service. They both attract people who want just what they're offering. And maybe some others who think they're status symbols. That sounds like Serotta to me.

I drive a BMW because I like driving it. Status wise it would be at the bottom of the cars in the market I work in. Twice I have test driven a Lexus and it just takes one block for me to realize I could never drive one. Different markets for sure.
I can't imagine a better bike than my Serotta. Six years and never a thought of wanting to replace it with another bike.
