Do you have a estimate on how much taxes you would have to pay if you win? Thanks.

You’d have to claim the value of the bike on your income tax. So add $29,000 to your annual income, and then figure your taxes out. A lot of variables come in to play on that so every ones tax liability is not always the same.

Sure is a bummer that you have to be a U.S resident.
I am from Canada and would have no problem donating for a chance to win a sweet ride like that.
Hopefully that is fixed soon

Everybody seems concerned with how much taxes they would have to pay if they won. I personally would like to win, but it is where my money is going means more. It’s the national motorcycle museum. I ride and love being around bikes. Museums make money off of donations to survive. If I win the bike or not, I still feel like a winner.

If I cant win the bike cause I am not an American resident then I guess I am not allowed into the Museum either. Our Australian Soldiers can go and help you to Victory in Iraq and that other dust bowl not worth mentioning, let alone fighting for but how dare we even think for a second that any one of us Aussies can win your precious “Ness” Victory bike. I guess the Museum is off my “what to see” list when I am over there in August.
