It's going around the message boards - Harley, Honda and I think Suzuki are doing test marketing on leasing motorcycles! OK, it might keep the cost down on those $20K+ bikes but who in their right mind would personalize a leased bike by adding a $1000 in chrome accessories? Even spending $500 on pipes would be stupid.
The whole notion kinda irks me a little. This is just going to invite even more fair weather riders who run out and buy $30K motorcycles for their first bike, ride 20 miles per year to bike events in their brand new wardrobe of "hard core biker gear". Leasing a bike... that's like leasing a wife. The motorcyclist culture is becoming so diluted.
