Default Re: Hard to sell bikes these days?

I find it strange and a little annoying when people claim their 'thing' is worth loads of money and then get all upset when no-one else realises this.

A 'thing' is only worth what someone will pay for it! That refers to bikes, jewelery, gadgets, houses and the rest. Nothing has any intrinsic value in itself

A dealer should give warranty on any bike they sell, even if its only three months, its not worth much but I reckon its better for business and reputation whatever the bike, to rectify a problem if one arose.

id be surprised if they didnt give you warranty and if they didnt stand by there warranty policies then I would think it would turn into a legal matter

I agree with your definition of value,but I cant see anything to get annoyed about here.No one seems to be getting all upset about things or have I missed something that got modded?

You've never ridden an Aprilia RS250, that much is very obvious.

It's a totally different bike to a Blade, and some people just adore strokers and the light flickable handling of the RS in particular.

A Blade is a sedate, comfy, capable bike, wheras an RS250 is a mental screamer that requires every ounce - and more - of your attention and effort to go half as fast, but delivers twice the grins.
