You guys did not get he memo?

Poorly phrased on my part. The "always on" was referring to some bikes that kill the light during starting vs. others that do not. In my personal experience it's usually nicer and newer bikes that have this feature, hence the reference to price.

And I say most bikes, because not all bikes with headlights are street legal and therefore aren't required to have the headlight on at all times. There are also quite a few 40+ year old bikes still on the road.
