[QUOTE="gazelle, post: 1180134, member: 28432"] We all view life as individuals and through our own eyes. I look at my 3 FJR's: an '03 bought new for $9999 (NO add ons) and 2 used '04's...total outlay $12,500 ( $18,500 less what I sold 2 bikes for) , total miles approx about 400K miles. Current '04 just turned 188K after a 6400+ mile 1 week trip out West and still runs great. Not "worth" much in dollars and doesn't have all the "refinements" of newer models but it sure still puts a smile on my face to the tune of about 40K per year. I guess I could buy a new one for what I've spent in tires (5-6K per set of PR2's). gas, oil, and filters. I guess it's sorta like the old "ride a fast bike slao or a slow bike fast"....I'd rather ride an old bike a lot rather than a new one a little bit....Just some thoughts....( $.03 per mile thus far....)
