LOL oh yea, buying one new, taking anal care of it, and not putting any miles on it is great for the next guy that buys it. I don't buy mine for the next guy.
You can make out ok on motorcycles if you buy them used from a desperate seller, take anal care of them, also don't put any miles on them, keep them a short time and sell them to someone else that's hot for that particular model, but for the most part you will be lucky to break even or just lose a little for all your efforts.
Bazbro's example of buying for $4500, keeping it for 28 years, and selling for $6300 hardly ever happens. It would take a rare collectible model to pull that off.
I passed up a 16K miles 1977 R100/7 a couple years ago for $3800.
Ain't nobody making a killing like that on CB1100's lol
