I agree with you, Phil...I am very satisfied with NT700 and how it gives me the mileage I long for, comfortable ride and the dependability of Honda.
Well - I suggest that you never buy a new motorcycle as an "investment" (unless it is a rare limited edition and highly collectible model).I really like ads where they list "vested $xx,xxx" in some object they are trying to sell. I sure hope when I invest it would be I don't say I invested this much and know it worth one 1/3rd of my investment.
These prices are not much more than So Cal, Los Angeles pricing. There's always someone on Craigslist thinking that they have a super rare model asking a lunatic's amount for it. Sorry that you guy have those Cafe Racers done by kids asking a king's ransom for it out there too. These fools are killing the vintage motorcycle market and giving us that garbage that cannot be rescued.The market for used motorcycles on Craigslist in the Cincinnati area currently has 1,443 listings.....take your pick.

Interesting that the ABS version with a bunch fewer miles is selling for the same price as the non-ABS version.
OK Chris, since we are taking things out of context what is the worth/value of a pet. I know people who have dogs that poop on the lawn, pee on the kitchen floor, won't come when called, and sometimes bite their owner, but are still highly valued by their owners. Ya, I know, it's hard to be objective with regard to your own pet. But my example shows how far we humans stretch values.Value and worth are very subjective to the owners of vehicles and those that lust after the bikes/cars.
Yes! Exactly my point. We have paid $8000 just for one surgery on a dog. Offer us a million dollars for one of our dogs and we would just smile at you...... is that stretching human values? Not at all. It defines them for each of us. If I had a kid that needed a million dollar surgery and you offered a million for one of my dogs, that would force me to reconsider my values....OK Chris, since we are taking things out of context what is the worth/value of a pet.

Yes! value changes over time. And if you are not having fun with it.....give it the old heave hoe......Value is what it is worth to me right now. Not what it is worth for trade-in etc.
That value changes for me if I am keeping the oil changed/ batteries up etc but not actually having fun with it. It is all a balance that changes often.

Yeah, use too. 4 degress tonight and about 10 inches in the last week...I could have skiied today but elected to fast walk.....Today my snowplow and snowmobile were my most valued vehicles. I plowed the driveway twice and groomed the ski trail. Probably will do the same again tomorrow too. It is the first real winter weather we've had for two months. It has been all cold and hardly any snow.
I'm sure they age while sitting, just slower. Brake fluid likes to absorb moisture so it would get some while just sitting. I would probably flush it at 8 years of sitting but it probably would look OK. Sitting probably isn't the best on seals but they would most likely be fine in that timeframe.Does coolant, brake fluid age when sitting in a new bike?
