Jeepers, Had my V11 14 years this May ans excluding legal essentials, I think I am only arround that threshold.

Mind you, my new aluminium tank will jack it up another £850.

What are you doing with the carbon tank? Or has the ethanol worms eaten too much of it?Cabernet wrote:Jeepers, Had my V11 14 years this May ans excluding legal essentials, I think I am only arround that threshold.

The HD is definitely a keeper. Got a written agreement that if in 4 years my mileage is under 26k its worth just shy of 7, so adding up it’ll have lost my trade in value and thats it, the MV was £17k new and with just 4k on the clocks is now worth £7k, too steep for only 3 years old.
Next bike will probably be a used 18’ Kawasaki Z900, its a right looker but 10k for a kwak with steep depreciation (pot kettle black ad i have the MV like) is too much. Or an electric number if they come down in price.

Ive been looking at zzr1400’s and z1000sx.
Good deals on new ones and a 4 year old bike is losing about £3k.
Still too much for a skint cunt like me.
Be more like a 2008 to 2010 bike maybe.

This is sensible , let another person take the year one depreciation,along with any Bike issues ,or recalls etc, then you have a great looking Bike . I reckon these bikes will worth £2000 less the minute it leaves the showroomrumpoldstilskin wrote: ↑30 Jan 2018, 14:05What are you doing with the carbon tank?

Re: Whats caught your eye for 2018?
Here’s to hoping, been that guy who loses the first 20% too many times now, was just sick of buying 2nd hand bikes with one owner passed off as pristine only to find major flaws- this is on bikes that, well at least on one occasion was only 6 weeks old, had some £5/6k engine damage!! I’d had enough and that experience has cost me dearly.Dave wrote:This is sensible , let another person take the year one depreciation,along with any Bike issues ,or recalls etc, then you have a great looking Bike .

That said some of my ‘impulsive’ eBay buys have cost me a bit too, even though they have been basket cases for less than £500 haha. Still cheaper than drinking and smoking though, and there is no patch yet designed my doctor can prescribe for a serial bike buying addiction
