why motorcycle catalogues are so thin?

[kawashima]

I think catalogues are being made to stimulate people's desire to purchase products, and catalogues for cars are usually thick and gorgeous, even with small cars like micra. I can call them a "book".
But for motorcycles, most of them are just "a sheet of paper", or "a folded paper" (just like a cover page of estimate sheet..). And usually the information and photos printed on the catalugue is less than web page. Now most of the people have their own PCs, they can get necessary information from web site.
I wonder what is the point they keep printing such paper catalogues.
I wonder why they don't make them gorgeous like car ones, or why they keep printing such paper catalogues.

I'd prefer they spent money on the actual bike instead of a glossy 20 page booklet of "Bike Goes Braaaaapp Super Faster"

I can't remember seeing any printed catalogues for motorcycles. Do they even do them in the UK? I can't imagine why.

I imagine as its too expensive. I can't imagine that many people would want a Micra booklet just to look at and admire, whereas I would guess many kids (and adults!) would take a booklet of the new Kawasukonda zxgsxcbr 1200 turbo nitrous machine...
