I think folks should remember, when you buy a new bike both the factory and the dealer have to make a profit. I think dealers expect about £1k (in the UK a new tiger costs £7k) and I guess Hinkley expect about the same. So a new bike is actually worth about £5k... And dealers know this when traiding in etc.

Also, think about how much a bike depreciates / mile. After how many miles does a bike take before the maintenance costs start rising sharply? 70k-100k miles?
