> a $15,000 bike
That's a really high price for a bike, you're talking a small percentage top of the line or stupid over-priced for name brand sake bikes there. Kinda feels like you might have backed in to that number?
For reference, a bike like a GSXR 600 or Ducati Monster can be had for under $10k - and one would assume a decent discount for buying a few million at a time ;-)
- EADGBE 9y agoI don't follow bikes, and I assume the immediate demand for tens of millions of one would drive the prices up. I also vaguely knew that HDs go for big bucks. But we're being ridiculous here, so...
- wang_li 9y agoYeah, you all are being ridiculous. No need for tens of millions of motor cycles. Just get one and pass it around. The whole point here is that the owner won't be spending decades putting around the country!!!!!!
- djrogers 9y agoIn a rational world, demand for 10s of millions of bikes could easily be absorbed by the asian supply chain over teh course of a few years. What would likely happen though is the the contracts for them would go to a US company that sells the bikes for 10x the price and can't deliver them on time. Oh wait, I forgot - we're being ridiculous ;-)
