I mean, I knew when I bought my GS in 2006 that I wasn't going to lose truck loads of money on it when it was time to PX / sell.

I like em, ugly looking bike, now more short person friendly with a very low seat height. I could easily get my feet down. Too expensive for me though at present. I baulk at £5k price tags never mind £7k

7k?? you tried nearer 11k£!
