There is one thing with bikes that is the exact opposite with cars, value, Harley’s hold there value MUCH better then crotch rockets.

For example, my Harley is an 07 and was $16k brand new, it now has 40,000 miles on it and still values and can be sold for $10K easily. Harley value drops off dramatically once you break the 60,000 mile mark however.
