I don't care who you are, or what your idea of "much" is. $750 is a lot of money. Maybe not in comparison to a $2500 leather suit, but $750 is still a LOT of money to the average Joe Shmoe.
Wanna know what's really expensive? try crashing in cheap gear! I don't get being willing to pay top dollar for a bike, then balk at the price of good gear. yeah $750 is a bit for an out of pocket expense, but factored into the total cost of motorcycle ownership, amortized over several years- which a Roadcrafter will last many, many years- it's not much overall. Just ask anyone that you know who's crashed lately if they wished they'd spent less money on their protective gear.
