[QUOTE="El Toro, post: 1367108, member: 14779"] I buy new and do not keep the bike after the warranty is over. So I typically have the kind of bike you say you want to buy. But even with under 15k on the clock, many can't afford to buy without a loan. You ask $9k for a three year old bike with msrp of $18k, and all the "schmaaart money" ties to whittle further for farkles. In my view, further for farkles is like coo coo for coco puffs. Aside from a RDL seat and a touring windshield, I can't think of one truly useful or necessary gadget to stick on and add clutter. So I like to buy the $18k bike as a leftover for $13k to $14k, and then trade it later, sometimes two bikes for one. The nearly 10% sales tax ( it is our means of highway robbery) adds to the trade value. No lookie Lous. No test rides. No financing issues. Yada yada yada. The motorcycle buying public in the US is fickle. I don't know how the importers stay in business. [/QUOTE]
