I dunno, we're finally taking a hit in the petrol so motorcycle sales should be rising, not falling. I've been seeing more on the road than ever before so I don't see why prices would raise as much out here.

RE: Dont know if the US will be effected but.....
Im thinkingthat all the sales numbers were up this year for almost every manufacturer, thats a fact.More people are buying due to high gas, thats not coming down, so why not jack up bike prices and make more money right?
RE: Dont know if the US will be effected but.....
Or this could backfire..They jack up their prices. and people relize that dropping that much on a new motorcycle actually isnt going to save them money..Thus losing sales. and taking even more of a loss..which i hope happens.

I love my bike, and I'm glad I paid what I did to get it...but seriously, $13k for a new bike is just nuts. For not much more than $13k you can get an AWESOME car..a freakin car.
Is there really $13k worth of labor, parts, and technology in a 370 lb machine? Can someone justify it for me?

Who knows though.. I doubt a whole lot of technology went into harleys but people still justify those prices by paying for them.
