Oh for sure theres money to lose on it! But I dont buy a bike with the intention of selling it any where in the near future, but should I get badly injured and have to give it up, ill be glad i didnt pay 4.5k on a bike and get 1.5 for it later on. Paying 3 and selling for 1.5..i can libe with that. I might sound like im thinking of the money side of things too much, but thats how i am and thats why Im in a good financial position today.
