[Greybloke]

HI everyone, just found this site after a bit of searching!

Considering a change from my TRE, and can do an OK deal on a 04 Dark. I quite like the earlier fairing, so looks are not an issue to me. It's going to cost me an additional £1000 for a 05.

Assuming I keep the bike for say 2 years, will the 04 model suffer much additional depreciation over the 05? Yes I know ther will be a difference, but as I have been severly burnt by my benelli experience, I just want to know what to expect.

Oh and I'm not buying this as an investment, or to lock up in the garage. This will be riden

Any general advice will be appreciated, as it may take me some time to filter out all the relevent info from this fine site

Cheers

My advice would be to buy one second hand greybloke..........Welcome to the site by the way.

I paid 8k for mine new July 2004, current book price for a trade in is 5.5k, serious amount of loss for less than a year. Let some other mug like me take the hit of the loss.

Regards

ScottyB
