999R prices
Given that the 999R are newer bikes, why do 996R and 998R fetch more money on the used market?

Probably cos they're the more desireable styling...

I'm neither a seller (cos I don't have a 999) or a buyer because I don't have 999 money to spare at the moment, so I'm completely neutral.

But I can never get my head round why the price of something plummets because there's summat new to be had. I can sort of understand it since human nature dictates that we always want the latest, greatest toys but from a 'real world' perspective it makes no sense.

A 999R is a cracking bike that offers loads more than I could ever use, so I don't quite get why that is devalued when something comes along with even more that I won't be able to use.

I can stay with most stuff on the road today on my 888, not because I'm a riding god, far from it....it's just that almost every bike that's been produced for the last 15 years is a way better machine than 99% of riders could ever handle.
