Default HD Bubble?

Hi all.
Been thinking of getting one of those HD Motorcycle bubbles to store the old girl in for the winter months, as my garage is more of a cow shed with no heating or insulation. Does anyone have one? My main question is does it consume a load of electricity? as the fan is obviously running continuously. In these days of rip off energy prices you have to consider the cost. Be interested in your feedback.
Thanks

I had never heard of a bike bubble until you brought it up.

That has got to be the silliest thing I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have looked at these bubbles and actually thought about getting one for myself. My only concern was poking a hole in it when I was working on something else in the garage. I just set up a fan, on a timer, and this does a decent job keeping condensation off of the bike.

Friend of mine has used a bubble for several years - his Sporty is in his as I write. It isn't a Harley branded one, but there are plenty of them around.
