For those of us that purchased new how do you feel about the extra $$ spent vs buying used?
My thoughts... I want to keep her forever, that is the ONLY reason I purchased new. The initial cost and upgrades won't hurt as much when it's spread over time. Forever to me means realistically 20yrs? Stating that, I don't think putting 25k a year will be the best plan. I am thinking I may put about 5k-7k a year riding when I want.
I have a 92 accord that I will leave on the side of the road one day. I purchased it for a nominal price and it gets me 27mpg. It has 330k and runs like a dream (knock on wood).

I doubt I will ever sell mine, its just too good to let go. They aint making any more. I feel the same about my Valkyrie. I may buy other bikes to rotate, but these 2 are long term keepers.
330k mile on your Accord? You da man! Cool! I have 194K on an '88 accord that I'm keepin till it blows up. 136K to go....
