I like the part about "the bike must weigh under 8500 pounds"....that should cover it!

Plenty of benefits to buying now, cheap prices, high inventory, and now a tax break... If you got the dough, it's time to go.... Shopping that is...

Considering new car buyers get a tax credit, it's only fair that motorcycle buyers get the same.

Now, if they'd offer a tax credit at the t-bar we could really get the economy going! Gotta support the working women, ya know.
