Seabecks, sometimes you need to take a step back and reset. I have had very little luck myself in finding a new owner for my Bimota SB8R, a true hand assembled superbike with under 7k miles and a production of around 250! There are many factors I am attributing that to - obscurity of the brand, limited usability for daily riding purposes (unless you and your back are into S&M), tax season...

However, other important aspects impacting second hand bike market are lower price points on new bikes and availability of financing. With about $1k down or even less, new bikes can be financed at under $100/moth. Now, that won't get you a GS-A but it will buy you a brand new G310R or KTM390. Either one will be good for commuting and some fun in the twisties... I wouldn't want either one but I'm also joining the league of dinosaurs so my buying preferences don't reallly reflect those of the general market.
