More people feeling the effects of the cost of living while they over leveraged the last few years?
Yeah, the 300 Series or Raptor Ranger looks good outside the 7 figure house but there’s no point if they’re living week to week as half of their income goes on interest to cover the facade as the grey hairs appear weekly from stress.

I’d be curious to know how motorbike rider patronage has trended over say ten years.
I have read the hobby is in decline. It’s an aging hobby. Over zealous road policing, horrendous cost of new bikes, an all round expensive hobby and not much cheaper than an economical car to commute if riders double up on commuting and weekend rides.
