Low resale value

[rboe]

I'm hoping that in ten or so years the market will wake up to what these guys are, like the W650 and GB500. Assuming we can buy gas in ten years or not having to move in from the coast due to sea level increases.

For me, the only real downer is buying a bike thinking it will a good fit and find out after living with it that it's not. For me the CB1100 is a very good fit (the Griso, not so much). But like I found out with my Quota; For a bike to have decent worth down the road, it needs to be rare - and desirable. Something the Quota had going against it. I do think the Griso has a much higher desirably factor. Well, for a Guzzi anyway.

The CB is not quite as rare, and I think the desirabilty factor is pretty high - within a very narrow niche.
