[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 944624, member: 13519"] The only time I see Harley prices is when my Rider magazine talks about them, and I like Ducatis, but some of the prices are outrageous. I'm just a little shocked because I honestly expected the Motus to be in the low $20's. I know right now they are limited production with limited dealer network, and prices will reflect that, but think of this: A $30k bike has a limited number of customers. A $30k sport tourer has an even smaller number. Hell, Yamaha's having trouble selling FJRs for half the cost. I'm just wondering if they are gonna price themselves out of a market for being greedy. I know it's not the same thing, but even when Buell started, I don't remember them ever being super expensive. I think it was the opposite. Try to get as much product out into the market, get the name recognized and build profit by volume. What do I know though...I'm not in marketing and right now, I couldn't (wouldn't) afford one even if it was low $20's. Oh well... [/QUOTE]
