'I don't know how much this motorcycle is' should be 'I don't know how much
this motorcycle would cost.' (contributor: bamboo4)
fixed, but not sure if the english was wrong to start with really...

Just a note to say that いくらか is a completely diferent word meaning
'a relatively small amount.'
いくらか得したの = Did you make some gain?
いくら得したの = HOw much gain did you make?
(contributor: bamboo4)
I'm not sure it's wrong per se, but it is bad English because it's unclear
when stated alone. In a known context it would be fine, but alone it could
mean anything like, 'I don't know how much this motorcycle is loved.'

...and I concur with bamboo4 that いくらか means 'some,' and could be
confusing Japanese to a non-native speaker, but in this case and in this
context it clearly means 'how much?' (contributor: feralkat)
