Is your dirtbike worth more than your vehicle you use to haul it?

[sixOHfour]

I sold my sports car today and am heading out to buy myself a new Orange bike tomorrow.. It dawned on me that this KTM will be worth more than the 2002 Ranger XLT 4x4 I will be using to haul it... Do I have a problem? or is this normal? 

 

How many of you guys haul expensive bikes with an inexpensive truck?

[SnowMule]

When I took this pic, the sled was definitely worth more than the truck it's in.?

I've since upgraded the truck (Power Wagon! ) and put a lot of miles/abuse on that sled.

 

 

Bike's the cheapest vehicle I own right now, and it's currently the one that's getting the most use.  50mpg!

Can easily get more out of either of my dirt bikes than a could the old '94 Mitsubishi pickup that I haul them in..

Not even close. My Tahoe is almost 70k, and with 1 ktm, absolutely no where near that much.

Why on earth do you own a $70k Tahoe?  These high dollar pickups blow me away, totally unnecessary.  I wouldn't even pay that for a Raptor.

not like I customized it, it's brand new and if i were to get a truck, it would be a used raptor

My truck is worth way more than my bikes, but that's not to say I would have a problem with hauling bikes in a shit wagon if it meant the difference between riding or not ?

It's a push. New YZ, 06 Nissan Titan..

It depends what truck I decided to drive. I've got a 92 ford ranger that the bike is most definitely worth more than the truck. Ive also got a 06 ranger fx4 that's worth more than the bike. I wouldn't worry about witch one is worth more as long as long as the truck gets from a to b reliably

I bought my current 1989 Chev Van II 6 years ago for $750.00. The guy I bought it off was my best customer (I'm now working for him). He has a fleet of vans and takes them all in regularly for oil changes etc and had just done a full brake job on it just before I bought. Other than tires, new muffler and a water pump, I do the regular maintenance and IMO the est deal I've ever gotten on a vehicle

 

V6, great on gas, heavy duty roof racks, it fits 2 dirt bikes and I have it some what set-up for sleeping in if needed. I like the fact that I can get bikes and anything I want to keep dry inside. I don't leave my bike in it for long periods of time BUT if I get a newer van, it woud have blacked out and secure windows (or no windows) in the back and a full partition between the front/back. Basically so you could not see anything in the back and as difficult as possible to get into the back.

 

Anyway I guess that's $10,000/$750.00 = 1 bike to 13.3 vehicles

 

Here's what a OLD van looks like where we still salt the roads in the winter.

 

 

Crappy shot of the inside ?

Why the hell does a 15yo have a 70k Tahoe? I mean I have a loaded Tahoe and priced a new one since mine has 500,000km or so on it now. New set up the exact same was 84,000cdn so I'm going used again.

Right now I would say the truck is worth the same as all the bikes combined.

[BOAB]

Ok, I guess my 03 XR is actually worth more than my $750 trailer I use to haul it on behind my Jeep. ?

[MXGuy34]

Before and after, I think as today my car cost more than the bike. and  KTM is no longer with me, still the truck cost more than my KX250f.

Why do I have a tahoe at the age of 15? I need a big car to haul the trailer carrying all the bikes

[yz250fmatt]

my 06 yz250f is hauled by a 1989 price of a Mazda B2200. I could sell my bikes and get a decent truck but. I would rather just keep spending money on bikes you're not alone.

imagine going to the track with a old Volvo station wagon pulling a 2016 ktm on a trailer... That would make my day

[941MXVET]

2002 Chevy 1500 pick up vs. 2013 CRF450. The CRF is worth more for sure, I do not have a problem.

[bobsled]

I'm wearing a necklace that cost more than my bike and truck combined....well, the hauling truck a anyway, the work truck is a whole other story (ram ecodiesel)

my 2004 crf250 is a cheepie, and my 2002 f150 isn't much better

[L. Euler]

I'm guessing no. Quads and RV are not mine.

Very few things are bought out of necessity:  Especially dirt bikes, no matter the price, totally unnecessary.
