Where this evidence came from
Real published text, but nobody said it in the first person — so it is never shown as a quote.

Owners abroad rate this bike's resale, warranty and service cost on their own market's terms. None of that applies here — different duty, dealer network and used market. It is shown separately and never counted above.
