in the Netherlands 26k euros. Much more expensive in Europe and especially in the Netherlands with the additional “BPM” tax!

Not necessarily. There has to be demand for the bike in order for it to have value.

Everyone may have a different reason to collect something other than money.

In Turkish website, new price for FBob is 31,500.- EURO's...

Last year, I have purchased my 2022 fatbob for 26,500.- Euro's.... now it became 31,5...

I think, we are paying the highest price for HD in the World.. Because we buy one bike for ourselves and one extra bike for the government, as "Tax"

For motorcycle buyers, the government still can be considered "conscientious"...

When you want to buy a car in Turkey, you buy one car for yourself and TWO EXTRA CARS for the government...

Here is an advert for a 2022 Chevy Camaro ZL1 from Istanbul, Turkey:

The price shown in Turkish Lira makes appx 583,333.- USD

I see a lot of people go for taller bar risers or taller bars…

has anyone gone the other way with short risers/short t-bars?

I can’t find many that have but those I have found I really like the look. Especially with the likes of burleigh bars 2” thick with 2” riser.
