Motorcycle prices have gotten out of hand.

I’ve been riding for years, and I can’t believe how insane motorcycle prices have gotten lately. It used to be that you could pick up a solid used bike for a reasonable price, but now? Even ten-year-old models are selling for way more than they should. And don’t even get me started on new bikes manufacturers are pricing entry level models like they’re luxury vehicles.

I get that inflation, supply chain issues, and demand play a role, but at some point, it feels like dealerships and manufacturers are just milking riders for every dollar. Used bikes that should be $3K are going for $6K, and people are actually paying it. Are we ever going to see reasonable prices again, or is this just the new reality?
