is it time to trade or stick more money in her
Here's a question for you guys. I've got a 92 EGC with just under 30,000 miles she's been giving me little problems here and there. Is it time to trade in or invest more money into her. I like the bike but, I don't want to be nickled and dimed to death. What do you think?

How much do you love the bike? If its your true passion and you have a personal connection to it, then what difference does it make how much you spend on it. If its just another bike in a long line of bikes you have had and will have in your lifetime, dump it and get a newer one. I truly like my Evo (I really do), but I bought it because thats what I could afford at the time. If I had 20-25K laying around, I'd damn sure would have went to the dealer and bought a brand new bike with a 5 year extended warranty.

Less than 30,000 miles is not a lot of miles for a 92 EGC, but it's still 18 years old. The dealer probably won't give you much on a trade-in. If the maintaince costs don't exceed $1000.00 per year, I'd keep the bike and bank the money you'd be paying on a new bike loan. In three or four years you'll have a nice size down payment on a new bike and you will be able to sell your 92 for almost the same amount as you can get for it today. But if you're looking for an excuse to buy a new bike, go for it.

You'll be lucky if a dealer will even take your bike in trade, considering the age of it. The question is "how much do you like the bike you have now, and will you like a new one enough better to be worth making the monthly payments?"
All bikes will "nickel and dime" you. New, old, big, small, that's life with a motorcycle.
