My last new motorcycle purchase was 2009, when I traded in a 2003 Suzuki Bandit 1200 that I bought from the salvage yard with clear title for $1500 for a brand new Suzuki Gladius with $2000 trade-in value, 0% financing for 48 months. I paid off that bike within 9 months and sold it for over $6k, didn't turn a profit be cost me less than $2k to ride a Gladius for 12k miles.
Ever since then I've been staying with used bikes that turn profit upon resale.
Brand new bikes just do not interest me with traction control, ABS, electronics that are difficult to diagnose and work on in my own garage with specific tools.
