If direct currency conversion, should be around RM45k but then, need to factor in other miscellaneous costs here like spare parts holding costs, special tools and proprietary software licensing, warranty cost paid to the manufacturer (this depends on whether they are taking warranty from manufacturer or they are handling their own warranty locally), financing costs, stock holding and staff cost apart from the usual taxes and duties levied. Plus, margin as well for the importer and the distributor. They still need to make a living right? So, the RM20k difference, while looks like a lot, can actually whittle down to very little if those costs are added in. Just speculating only as I don't know the price walk for this but this is how it is for costs when dealing with vehicles.
Someone mentioned it is pricey in the PT post but I am curious. When the person said expensive, I would also ask, in relation to what? Cannot compare to other China made motorcycles and say it is pricey just because it is China based. It does offer pretty decent spec (and not the cheapo stuff mind you). So, for me, when looking at pricing, I would always see what it is in relation to. If Bonneville, (it's direct competitor), then it is affordable.
