really it's just simple economic scale. It only takes 1 R&D team to design a motorbike that sells 100k units/year, just the same as bicycle that sells 1k/year. That same motorbike can be assembled at a constant rate at one factory, while the bicycle requires its own factory as well, and building a factory is not cheaper if it isn't running all the time. So because the motorbike sells more units it can be sold at smaller profit margin and still easily cover the overhead, whereas the bicycle needs a bigger profit per unit to make it all back.
also wtf is this shit about people knocking bikes made in asian countries and not north america? People can make trash or quality products in any country in the world.
