Of course, the other side of the coin is, who are these people who keep a bike for 10 years and only put 35000 km on the clock?

They're the people that pay the new bike depreciation hit. They're my bestest friends.  ;DI have a hankering for a K1300R... unfortunately, I'd only get into trouble with that power... not many of them around either.

You should see if you can get John Banks' K1300. It will be low k and mint, apart from some pucker marks on the seat. When the K1200R came out, I had ride on it. What I thought was a 120km/h, turned out to be 140km/h luckily I was on a “private” road.

The one bike I'm wary of is a Blackbird. Riding my boss' one a few years back, acceleration actually feels restrained. The problem is that 140kph felt like it was idling... and the cop didn't agree I REALLY didn't mean to do that speed, and earn myself the ticket  🙁The GSA is down heavily on power compared to the K1300, but keeps me legal. A guy I know has an older K1300R, but still with quickshift etc... argh, hearing the ignition cut while changing gears, its like a gun going off. Still... the definition of trouble I suspect. Haven't let my heart insist on a test ride either... bad trouble there too. I'll stick to the less powerful boxers.Oh, back to mileage, some like riding in nice conditions only... NZ doesn't have much of that  ;D Maybe multiple bikes as well. Said Blackbird is an 07 and has about 45k on the clock, yet spends almost all it's life sitting in the garage on a charger. When it's pulled out, it's for a trip, and has done several South Island trips.My GSA won't be one of those bikes. 2010, around 78k on it now, but spent the first year as a demo, only did 4k.  ;D

Its a worry when you have 06 K1200 GT's with 40ks just like mine for$12990, makes it hard to find the differance for a 2012 K1600GT at $33995 with less than 1000ks on it[$44600 rrp]$11000 under list..At least the old airheads are going up in value.Might have to hang on to the current fleet for a little longer.

told ya to sell it long ago but no, you would not listen. PS. when is the courier heading south and I don't wanna find ya fingerprints on the pages

when I was looking for my 4×4 I found one and they wanted $32500. I offered them $28000. They got quite upset about this. did not do the deal. it was still on the lot 8 months later and the price was $27500.so RK would ya take $8k for it.
