-98
 
Will a bike from -98 with 17k on the clock still hold value?

I saw a rather nicely priced bike, but it was from 98 and had 17k on the clock, and i wonder if you get anything back selling it (taken you don't get hit my some t@sser :evil: on your way to work) after a few years.

Im talking about a vtr 1000

I really wanted an sv1000s but can't afford one, but i like the old v-twin.
So a vtr would be the next best thing i though (need the sporty looking, can't do naked).

Would it be worth getting one or are they cheap for a reason?

Yes. I'd probably get more for my 97 gsxr600 than i paid for it.

Paid £2100 for it when the book price was £2500. Added hugger, braided lines, K&N and dynojet. Should get at least what i paid back on it when i sell this summer with 16k extra on the clock.

Thats what i wanted to hear!

So if my bike won't come out nicely it's gone, and im getting another one.

Cheers!

As long as you buy at the right price the bike won't have any further to fall in price.
