Resale isn't good on most modern, still in production bikes. Buy it and ride it off the lot, you just lost 30%.

I'm just whining 'cuz I thought I was being smart as the guy who let somebody else take the big first-owner depreciation hit. What I didn't count on was the value tanking another 25% in the first year after I bought used (although, to be fair, the recent $5,800 eBay sale I'm basing that on probably isn't really reflective of the market).
Yeah, I know...you shouldn't get into cars/bikes if you're worried about resale...etc. At least I didn't borrow the money.
