I know, in Europe, all high-end cars are fitted with these GPS-trackers.

Does anybody know how much they cost in Thailand?

Seems a good investment when you buy a new car or motorcycle in Thailand.

looking at those 6 bikes how could they possibly be worth 500,000? They look to be scooters.

They all look like PCX150's which, priced at around 80000 baht apiece, comes pretty close to 500k.
