It's NO comparison to the price in the USA. Far more expensive. Example: My Yamaha Tmax (picture enclosed here already) is about 520,000 pesos Brand new from Caloocan sales in Manila. That's about $11,300 USD using today's conversion rate.

In the states, a similar bike (the Majesty) is $5800 brand new. Prices in the PI for hardware, electronics, cars, cheese, meats, motorbikes, parts, etc are all FAR more that you would ever pay in the states. Hope that helps.
Thanks, it does

The US is VERY cheap all over and have always been.
Norway is VERY exspencive and have always been.

I would say the US and the Danish prices are complete oposites of the scale going from cheap to expencive!

I thought it would be US prices down there.
