Is that amount of cash really going to get you into a convertible (or make even a dent in the cost of the convertible you're thinking of?) Compare the market value with your desire to ride...even if its just a couple times per year. I think you'll find that the bike is worth more to you than you can sell it for.

I go through this thought process every so often when I consider selling my '95 Ducati M900.
That is exactly the thought process that has kept the bike in my garage so far. You are exactly right, I would expect to sell it for 3k, but the reality is that's 2x my current car budget.

I think Schumi may have the right idea. My bike looks NOTHING like that.
