Biggest problem for the millennials and gen z is- Wages are stagnant, while costs keep going up. Motorcycles are viewed as a luxury toy, not a primary means of transportation. Most can't afford new.

( Incoming rant / Sorry, feel free to ignore)

I'm an older millennial at 37 years old. Instead of going to college I joined the military a few days after 9/11.
Our entire generation was brought up being told get a degree, get a degree it's your ticket to easy street, get a degree in whatever you want. Employers just want you to have a degree, they don't care what it's for.
Then you get 500k people with renaissance era underwater basket weaving degrees, because that's what they were interested in. ( All my friends that went for STEM are doing ok comparatively however, only 1 makes more money than I do.)
This problem was created by the generation that raised the ones with useless degrees. Filled their heads their entire lives with the idea that any degree is a path to financial success.
Our entire education system is set up around the idea of college after high school.
The end result is millennials as a generation have the highest level of education in history but due to economic forces the financial results of that education are not panning out the way they were told it would.

The Boomers generation at the average age of 35 held about 20 percent of all wealth in the us.
Millennials who are just now hitting that same mark are at about 4%
The generational pay / wealth gap is on top of having spent more on education than literally any other generation. Even when you adjust for inflation.

Of my peer group, 50% want motorcycles, less than 10% can afford the luxury on top of their other expenses.
