#Prices #HarleyDavidson #Motorcycles- Prices differ in each country, that is something we all know and understand. Cost of living, import duties, basic materials, etc they all differ per country. That is why you can not buy the same thing for the same price in different countries, and that applies to motorcycles as much as anything else.

I decided to have a look at what the same motorcycle model costs around the world. It is not an easy exercise since most motorcycle manufacturer's web sites do not list prices, and if they do, often they do not sell the same model, or list prices in some countries but not in others.

I noticed that Harley-Davidson was the most consistent (but not always), so I looked at the base price for Harley Forty-Eight Sportster motorcycle. Using the starting price listed in their web site (you will see a link to the price I found below for each country) I converted the local currency to US$ using the currency rate established on Monday 29 July 2013...........

Ad: Escape The Police With A Peugeot Scooter - Good or Bad?

#Ad #Peugeot #Scooters - Hmmmm... I do not know what to think about this print advertisement. It is for Peugeot, the French scooter (and a few cars) manufacturer, and the text below the cops riding toy scooters says:

"Satelis 125 Compressor, an acceleration that leaves everyone on the spot"

According to the text, the 125 cc scooter has the performance of a 250cc one. And apparently it is enough to escape the cops.
