the value of my bike doesn't matter until i look to trade it in.

It's worth every penny when riding, and cost to performance is fantastic. Though i got mine fire sale time, so even better.

motorcycles, cars, etc. are rarely an investment. Some rare exceptions, but Buell is definitely not one. Mine isn't sitting in the garage waiting for some collector to want a 0 mile 09 collector 25R... I ride mine and love every mile.

I agree with Rat, and several others above. I love this bike. So, the mags think it is quirky (o.k.), and the riders are outliers (I'll take that), but when I get on this thing it is a kick. I have a hard time imagining that I will sell it even when I get an 1190 later on. This thing is a smile a mile. There are four in my immediate family. Probably always will be. And a tuber and an xb. I don't care what the market says about them.

People are funny. Attitudes of entitlemet suck. Deriding a bike for market value? Bizarre. Ride and enjoy life; be happy. For the vast majority of us it is nothing but a decision. Choosing otherwise is foolish.
