They charge what they can get for it, it is a pro-level race machine. Pros (sponsors) are willing to spend $$$$ for fractions of a second of improvement. Professional level motorcycles and automobiles likely have astronomical prices compared to consumer, amateur level gear.
Personally, my bikes are all parts-bin pieced together contraptions and serve my needs fine.
