New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
Very good points one and all. thanks for all the good info!!!I would guess that parting it out would not result in much money being lost, just a matter of how fast it would be re-couped. Looking up OEM prices, just the wheels and a few tidbits would cover a good deal of the cost of the bike.Bigger concern for me than money is weight. My garage/drive situation often requires me to muscle a bike into reverse. Don't think I'm man enough to do that with a bike that weighs twice to 4X every bike I currently own........
It would definitely be different than anything you currently own.
Many people buy a used ~$15K motorcycle, ride it a few years and are super happy to sell it for ~$10K. Many people buy a new $25k motorcycle, ride it ~5 years, and are happy to sell it for $10k-$12k. So at a ~$4k purchase price, geez, go get it!! I doubt it would ever be < $1000 ... so you'll be out max $3k to ride it as much as you'd like. And realistically, say you keep it 3 years, and it still runs great, price then? Probably $3k ish? So only lose $1k. But ... if you were thinking you could buy it for $4k and one day it would be worth $6k or $8k+, then nope don't do it. I've been tempted to buy a Vision, what a quirky looking bike! But most of them are still selling kind of high like $8k-$12k. Too much loss in that for me.
