Are Honda motorcycles over priced?
A comparable motorcycle from Suzuki, Yamaha, or Kawasaki usually goes for less.
Are Honda motorcycles overpriced? Or are Hondas really worth the extra money?
Honda makes nice bikes.
Okay that is settled BUT any @zz-hole can take a Rolls Royce and turn it into a garbage truck.
Maybe the seller(s) think their bikes are worth more so demand a higher price and they and you can dicker all you want about that.I've owned a couple of Honda's but since they parts are a bit more expensive I've owned more Yamaha bikes (still own one and riding that brand since '74, not exclusively but quite a few).
I'm a Honda aficionado, and one thing that I have noticed is that all Honda dealerships are greedy and intransigent. Their service departments are notorious for overcharging, doesn't matter where the dealership is. It would not surprise me in the least if Honda officially prices their bikes higher. That is fitting with the company they are. Yes, they make great bikes, but their business practices are beyond mercenary. I know a guy who was certified as a master mechanic through Honda and he will not work for them again, ever. He's doing quite well freelance.
Looking at MSRP, apples and apples:
Honda Rebel 250 vs. Yamaha V-Star 250: Yamaha $150 more -- http://www.powersportsnetwork.com/enthusiasts/new_vehicle_compare.asp?vehicle1=442005&year2=2015&mfg2=2&vehicle2=439123&go=Go
Honda CBR300R vs. Suzuki GW250F: Suzuki $100 more -- http://www.powersportsnetwork.com/enthusiasts/new_vehicle_compare.asp?vehicle1=415093&year2=2015&mfg2=4&vehicle2=437759&go=Go
Etc. Hondas are not expensive when looking at similar motorcycles.
- Why are their more Honda motorcycles sold than Kawasaki's & Yamaha? When the zx9r came out their were still more fireblades sold even though the zx9r was faster? And it was the same thing with the yamaha R1. Even now Kawasaki's and/or Yamaha still seem to have a little bit more horse power so why would people buy Hondas over Yamaha and Kawasaki? it Can't BE because they are cheaper because harley davidjsons sell more and are more expensive which is fact
- Why are some honda sport motorcycles CBR and others are CB? I have never understood why some models are the CBR 250 or the CBR 650 but others are the CB500 etc. What is the significance of the R?
- Types of motorcycles like Suzuki Marauder / Honda Shadow / Sportster? I'm pretty much only familiar with sport bikes. I like the Marauder and Shadow and Sportster styles of bikes. Any other suggestions similar to them?
- Motorcycles: Is a Honda CBR600F4i as reliable as they're made out to be? I really like the '06 Honda CBR600F4i with the yellow paint scheme. I notice that even a lot older ones are still holding value. Does the fairing rattle and buzz like cheaper motorcycles?
