Are you doing ? nothing to your bike/purchase ?
Ya know, this is my 10th bike, 7th Harley . This time I think I will leave it alone.
Not eventhe Harley Tax stuff. I hope anyway.
It just don't pay .
What ever you do, the most you get back is what you paid at the beginng.
BUT , an original , untouched bike. These allways seem to be the hot/big sellers.
How bout you ... ?
And if you care/interested , the other 3 , Triumph. Sorry kids buy they are actually better.

RE: Are you doing ? nothing to your bike/purchase ?
Problem is that I've never been happy leaving any vehicle in 'stock' condition, be it a car, truck, or bike. 
Anyway, future resale value isn't a major concern of mine.
I like to modify bikes to fit my needs, even though I would never regroup all the money I put into the projectif I decide to sell in the future.

RE: Are you doing ? nothing to your bike/purchase ?
The only things I worry about resale value are the things that just sit there an look preaty but are never used for anything worthwhile.I consider amotorcycle a consumable item just as I would a 12 pack of beer. Granted if and when I get rid of the current scoot it will be hopfully for a trade in if not the junk yard. I don't understand people that buy lets say a truck and say i'm not hauling anything with it because I don't want to scratch the bed. When I buy something it is well used and i'll add whaterver whenever to suit my needs at the time. I like getting my money's worth by using whatever I buy. But thats just my opinion and if your views differ that's ok because it is your hard earned cash.

RE: Are you doing ? nothing to your bike/purchase ?
I am with you monzie. I never trade anything in at a dealer that is not worn completely out. I really pay too much attention to the mechanical side, but worrying over every speck of dirt or ding in the paint just ain't my bag. I guess i have more of an engineers mindset, not an artists.
