As to the OP's question, I think that each person has to answer that one for themselves. When it comes to modifications, I've actually made purchases that I knew that I could not justify (my Staintune exhaust for example) and so I did not try to justify the purchase. For that matter, the same could be said for my CB1100 itself. I already had a motorcycle that worked and made me happy, but when the CB came out here in the States, I was amongst those at the very front of the line to purchase one.

From a financial standpoint, neither the Staintune nor the bike itself made sense. Even though I have used my CB1100 for commuting duties over the years, what I've really paid for is the experience this bike (and the very few accessories that I've purchased) has provided me with. Not everything in life fits conveniently into a formula in a financial spreadsheet. Those things also tend to be the stuff that I "value" the most even though the cost cannot easily be justified. More than just a bit ironic I suppose, but then so is life itself.
