House depends on how big, how many bedrooms and where it's located. Are you talking a 2 bedroom house in Clermont Co Ohio where I live or a 4 bedroom house in Los Angeles, California?
Motorcycles have a MSRP thats constant either in Ohio or Ca so easy to compare.
OK, in that case I'm in error. And there's no way that a 750 Shadow can compare with the KZ1000 in terms of impact.. No one today would call the 750 Shadow 'The King' as the Z-1/1000 was then..
I guess I would complain then that bikes are so expensive today, but we're getting so much more capability now than we got then, that I'll happily take it, oil cooled spark plug seats and all :-)
