I never think of re-sale value on my bikes, just how much I can get out of them, my SV had 153,000 miles on it in 2 1/4 years, never been threw an MOT, and worth next to nothing, but it didn't worry me as I consider it paid for itself full.

can't have it both ways.

Cheers Mark.
Yup you have summed up all my thoughts there Mark - I do want it both ways!

I guess I have already decided that I am just going to have to enjoy the Zed and face the financial consequences in the future - lifes a b!tch eh!
