Not true!
The rule for claiming is twice the MSRP. - And you must be racing in that class.
Keep in mind that if that is a prior year bike, this cpould be a deal for someone with, say $16k or $20k to blow! lol
Needles to say tho, it is nowhere near an amateur bike. - Tires alone are unobtainable at amateur level.
-Just saying.
straight from the rule book...
