I've been vocal about my desire to trade in my '13 if the 14 EX comes to market...
Now that we know the answer to the question 'if'... will I (and many of you...) really pull the plug? I want the 6 speed, the dual pipes, and the chrome double wall headers with their beautiful straight waterfall. And I LOVE the red color, but don't really care about the wheels, instrumentation, tank, etc.. BUT... how much will the difference be? What do you think? Here's my thoughts... My '13 will probably still have less than 2500 miles on it by April. I paid $9300 for it (before taxes and fees). I 'think' the trade in value will be about $7000. The '14 EX will sticker for $11900 (if I've read right). But, I bet that I can get the bike for $11000. $11000 minus $7000 leaves a net cost to me of $4000.... again, before taxes. Question? Am I close to what you think? And is the trade worth it? I am not a high mileage rider... and seldom trade. But my reason for buying this bike is to have one as close to the original 750 as I can get... and unless they come out with a 4 pipe model next year, this fits the bill much better than the '13. Your thoughts?
