Blade, Gixxer Thou, ZX10. Ther race bikes look the same
The value thing is simple. Once upon a time I didn't mind paying >£10k for something that was special and didn't depreciate hugely. Now they are less special, they depreciate hugely and I do mind paying >£10k for that.
If i want a 749/999 now then I'll go the route CC took - low miles, 2-3yrs old, letting someone else take the huge depreciation hit and taking it for servicing to a good small independent. The trouble is that it does not help Ducati at all. But, what would you expect me to do? I'm not a charity of a mug.
