NADA Guides, which publishes a well known book of used vehicle prices, announced today that the number of people researching motorcycle purchases increased 48% in March 2008, compared to March 2007.

However, actual sales still lagged.

The company, a vehicle pricing and information website, says it believes this growth in interest -- in spite of lackluster sales -- is an indicator consumers are increasingly considering motorcycles as 'daily drivers' versus luxury purchases as concern grows over soaring fuel prices.

NADAGuides.com announced today that it has launched a new motorcycle building and pricing tool at its website.

The tool gives online shoppers the ability to select various new motorcycle makes, models and trims. Once they've made their selection, a detailed specification and price list is provided, complete with MSRP, engine type, transmission type, brake and tire information, as well as additional specifications and features. The tool also allows consumers to compare new motorcycles side-by-side, with pricing and specification information of each motorcycle displayed simultaneously. Plus, the configuration capability lets shoppers build their ideal motorcycles.

Shoppers interested in building, pricing and comparing new motorcycles side-by-side can click on the "Motorcycles" tab at the NADAguides.com website and then they can click on the "Go" button in the "Build your Motorcycle" section of the motorcycles home page.
