However seeing as how they didn't consult me on what I wanted in my next bike, I'm very happy with what they've done!
As for the 999 owners, I just sold my 05 999s with £6K on the clock for £10K, about 30% less than the price I paid so I think that's a pretty good return? The older 999's dont fetch that much (grey frames/wheels) but the later ones seem to be doing OK for now. I think they'll hold OK and I am readying myself for a tirade of abuse by saying that I think they'll be as desirable as the 916's in future years as people realise how innovative they were. |
Very interesting comments there gossa.
