Default Increased bike values

Who thinks a 2007 Electraglide classic will be worth more in 25 years than it’s value today?

I just hope we can still get gasoline in 25 years......

Otherwise it may not be worth anything.....

I don't think there will be any demand for these bikes in 25 years. It's already dying off with our generations.

Vehicles are not good investments. Just enjoy it. If you want to make money buy some mutual funds. You are not going to be able to justify the cost of your compensator.

People will try to say guns and bikes are good investments, but they aint. Now a guy will come and say I bought this for this and sold it for this,and it was still bad investment usually.

Vintage muscle cars are very valuable now. First because they are cool. Second, they were baby boomers dream car when younger. The ‘07 is not special…And anyone that dreamed of having one, won’t be riding in 25 years.

The answers are as what I expected . I was just curious what people thought. I bought my bike to ride i don't care about its value, i will say i am glad i got it when I did. I know the new bikes are more advanced but I paid $18.500 for my bike they are a lot more now. I could go pay cash for a new one if I wanted and some day I may but I like my bike and will keep it fore ever...

You could argue the same about all kinds of vehicles. Young people get old.

Still investing money for 50 years will get you farhter than most cars.
