Seems like around here bikes of the 80s and 90s sell for as much as those made just a few years ago.
Well, maybe not exactly but really close. STs, FJRs and many others just a few years old are to the where it isn't really a big decision to buy one. Then you look around at previous era bikes and the difference is often not enough to think about.
I go through bikes quite often and whenever I get an older bike, it ends up selling a year or two later for more than I paid for it. If they within 5 years of current, I don't even look anymore, they are still going down. I know, the first few years is the big depreciation period but it makes one sit back a bit and watch those 16-18k priced bikes becomes fire sales a year later.
