I used to ride, but even bikes are getting quite more expensive, and it's much dangerous to ride on at least in the US as everyone is driving bigger and bigger vehicles and more distracted as well.

    I know Harleys are overpriced, but you can get a brand new cb750 for 7-8K, cheaper most of the world.

    What is weird is that much cheaper bikes the third world gets are way more expensive in the US, a XR150L is 3.4K in the US, a CB150 verza has the exact same engine, it's less than half the price in Indonesia.

    Same with the Honda Wave in asia vs Grom in the US, they switch the functional frame/clutch for something "sporty" and just double the price.
