From the pictures, this is the kind of vehicle that you would gladly pay extra to have delivered to your second vacation home so you can park it next to your 6 other semi-exotic cars and drive it half a mile to the country club on Saturdays.

If that is not your demographic, they might have geo-located your IP and blocked you based on the median income of your area. (Only half joking.)



It's about 44 grand. It's definitely not "country club" money.

Not a hell of a lot more than say a Fiat 500E convertible, and quite a bit cooler.


Oh, c’mon, it’s 44K. One can easily spend 30K or more on a motorcycle these days, we are a long way from “country club” prices. If it came to the U. S., I’d probably pick one up to park next to our Hyundai (yeah, a Hyundai, not a Range Rover).


$44k for something useless.

Why are you guys ignoring that part of the equation and only talking about $44k as though it's the same as the $44k everyone else spends on that Hyundai that they actually need to be useful and haul kids and tools and furniture around a country that's bigger than the Netherlands all day every day like a mule?

Those are two entirely different $44k.


$44k for something useless.

Pretty sure I can get groceries in that thing, but that isn't the point.

Why are you guys ignoring that part of the equation...

Because that wasn't the question at hand. I was responding to the idea that to buy this thing one must have a country club membership and two Ferraris in the garage already. I'm just saying that this is wrong, and plenty of "ordinary" people would drop that on a weekend toy. But if you're poor, yes, this is not the car for you.


About $51,000 USD if it were even eligible for import.


30k? What motorbikes would they be?


It’s not hard at all if you go Harley-Davidson. My BMW R1200GSA was $27K when I bought it ten years ago, I can’t imagine they’ve gone down in price.
