Had a discussion with a buddy and I think there will be a big surge of new motorcycle riders from gen alpha. They all are into ebikes and many now use it to commute to school. Boys and girls. What do y'all think?

I remember in the 90s and 00s they felt true to size if not more on the baggier/loose end. And they had their "athletic fit" that fit more slim. Then I felt in the late 2010s getting close to 2020 all their regular sizes felt like they were all cut like athletic fit so had to size up. Now that it seems like trends are going baggier, in 2026, how are they these days?

Can getting a $100 or less transformer from amazon work so this could be a great deal? Still saving A LOT compared to the US version listed for $1700 https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=42847

Been religiously looking for 250-300cc sports bikes from yamaha kawasaki honda. A lot of mid 2010s (2015 and around there) and majority are asking for $4500~. Give or take, but its more so closer to $5000 than it is to below $4000. I look on the manufacturer's website and new current year are $5500. Mileage varies too but many have seen a good amount of riding. 1 that sticks out that isnt high miles is a 1000 miles 2015 R3, asking $4800. That is when I said wtf, a new 2025 model is $5500. Do bikes like this hold their value or are people just looking for suckers? Sorry I'm new in purchasing. I dont want to offend when I low ball them and point out their bike is 10 years old and I can pay $1000 more for a new one. So should I low ball and offer $3000?

It's allowing me to purchase. It's a 10 year old fridge. If it starts giving me issues, will they actually fix it on this $6/month plan? They dont seem to be questioning the serial/model number is 10 years old
