  "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... (contributor: dc)
  
• 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?

• 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." (contributor: feralkat)
  
• ...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)
