| Rocker has put it very succinctly, couldn't agree more with the Multistrada comments, love the new S but wouldn't take the loss on my 04 bike either.
As for the older 748/9*6 bikes if you buy and sell right, the depreciation can be virtually zero. I've just agreed a price for my SPS and i've had the pleasure of a brilliant bike for nowt. |
