Well, since you guys brought up Shovels, they too are suffering for resale. Yeah, I got my Low Rider for a song at $5,500 , but I STOLE this Shovel. Swapped it for a now "out of business" Buell. And I'm not exagerating when I say the guy threw in thousands of dollars worth of spare and NOS Shovel parts. Its not so much that I love old bikes as I love bargins. Which usually means I'm riding slightly used motorcycles. Suck up these deals when you can, eventually times will get better and people won't be giving these bikes away.

I have over $20 K in my evo; guarantee you won't see another nicer, period. I would rank it up with the $30 K cvo customized bikes, and feel that a fair price for mine would be $11.5-12.5. Anybody can buy a plain jane, but it cost serious $ to customize it Many people are satisified with "stock" and that's alright. Personally, I think stock sucks and lacks any type of style.

I think the most fortunate bike owners are the ones that bond with their bikes, they don't need to buy a new or different bike. Not all bike riders reach that point, some need to trade and buy and switch, all the time looking for something they never seem to find - they make great customers at the dealerships but these unfortunate soles may never know the good feeling of bonding with a bike. They run around saying "hey look at what I bought now!" , but that excitement wears off fast and they are looking again. A rider that bonds with his bike is not too much unlike the fortunate dog owner that would not consider trading their old dog in for a new puppy, even though they may like young puppies, when they get home they want the comfort of having their old dog next to them .
