How come it cost more here or less there?

I admit it; I am a geek, but not that interested in why your Big Mac cost more then my Big Mac or less for that matter.


However pricing parity is very interesting to a geek like me, particularly with respects to motorcycles.
Where they are made and where they are sold, the prices at retail and the differences and why.


If it is not taxed to death then below is what the prices would look like, as a percentage around a dollar more(+) or less(-).
