Good for you Ferret. I've gone through a bunch of bikes, both new and used, since retiring 8 years ago. Like you, I'm not wealthy but try to wait for the best deals I can find. Before I retired I was determined to become and remain debt free and have thus far been able to do so. When I decided on a new bike (my CB1100) I sold a Jeep Liberty that was getting long in the tooth and used the cash from that sale and the trade for my '06 Guzzi. If I can't pay cash I do without.
