Oh Well, I quess we'll just go with an xtra set of lever rubbers instead.

Congrats

Please remember to have all your photo/video equipment charged and ready to go, ferret... we all want to share in the delivery day magic!

Ok, I'll be the bad guy: how much did it cost to trade? Tell me to buzz off if you want to, I won't mind. But, there WAS an entire thread on the topic!

Congrats ferret, I'll bet you can't wait to get that new bike!

Well, it depends on how you run the numbers. If you take what I paid for my CB and what I received on trade do I add the difference? Or count that as a use tax for the 7,035 miles I rode it? Same on my Majesty. I figured what I felt my bikes were worth retail and on trade. Going against the $11,899 retail on the new bike, (because you are rarely going to come out good on your trade against a discounted price.. and in the end you are only moving the numbers around anyway) I came out very close to what I figured I needed to make the deal. We were a few hundred apart, but the dealer has been good to me on past purchases. I want him to make some money so he will be there when I need him, so I didn't fight. I figured in the end it cost me my 2013 CB plus about $4100 everything included. Worth it? Only time will tell. I'm happy with the deal. In the end the dealer made a little on the retail price of the new CB vs what he allowed on my trades and will make a little both of the trades. Everyone's happy.

Not being nosy, you traded two bikes? And did not have to finance?

Congrats!

Assuming you '13 value is $7K, the total cost is 4100 + 3000 (depreciation) = $7100?

that is more than 2/3 the price of the bike itself

Congrats on the new bike and getting a deal you're happy with! Getting that new bike is one of the great joys in life, no doubt....

That is correct.

Congratulations Ferret. You'll finally be getting those red side panels.

If you want to figure it like that..I don't. I figure I got $3000 worth of use out of my '13. Riding 7035 miles has to be worth something.

I will be renting a bike this summer when my wife and I fly to Nevada. It's $1500 for a week. If you compare it to that, having the CB for 9 months for only $3000 is a bargain.
