I’m thinking about buying this as a write off and wrapping it with my business logo. I can take it to local car shows and ride it around town for advertising purposes. If I get just one lead from it then it will pay for itself. Terrible idea? Great idea? All input is appreciated.

depends on the business (type)
as signage outside a restaurant or something, sure. funeral director, maybe not.

No it’s pretty benign. But it’s an industry where one customer will pay me 15-30k.

If you buy the motorcycle, can you paint the sidecar like a circumcised penis? Please?

For old times' sake..?

>classic beauty of a bike

only wrapping that bike should be doing is around a lightpost going 120
i sure hope you are putting a period-correct style logo on it and not wrapping it in some modern bullshit

>> No.52672781

>>52672762
Honestly the more gaudy the wrap the more attention it gets. I’m not buying this bike to save a classic. I’m buying it to make money.

Also the wrap would be on the side car, not the bike itself.

it's pretty easy to undo a wrapping. It's not painting

The classic branding-vehicle is a Nissan S-Cargo. But it obviously depends on your business, because something thematic is always best. Like if you sold something really small (like miniature dioramas or something, idk) then you could get a replica Peel P50.

I don’t care man. All I want are eyes looking at it. And how often do you see a motorcycle with a sidecar? The looks would be endless.

It's not the biggest or best eyecatcher tho if all you want is a mobile billboard. For $13k, you can convert a VW bus, paint a giant logo, fill it with hookers and take that 'to shows'. And I know which would get remembered more. It's all what's appropriate for your gig - but that sidecars not gonna be as effective as you think.

Section 179 allows you to deduct a 100% of the cost of qualifying items, up to a certain limit. (For 2022, the total limit is $1,040.000.) After the Section 179 spending cap is reached, you get a nice little perk called bonus depreciation.

For motorcycle specifically, the Section 179 limit is $10,100

Calculate the tax benefit first
Write-offs in general are pretty retarded but reducing your taxable income by 13k isn't too bad. I have a company truck and plan to write off every gas purchase I make even though most of the time I'm using it personally

based, the only thing wives do is complain about your investments and then ask you for money, as soon as I got 20k with dext I automatically left that hoe, life is more peaceful that way

I wouldn't. People are seething cocksuckers nowdays and you are just making your house/business stand out by saying I"I am unique and original". This is a flame to the psycho moths who will joyfully break you. Maybe they won't but my life went to shit when I got a classic car with marketing in mind. People are cunts. Nice bike.
