I hate to burst your bubble, but it seems you already have faced reality... you have bought a depreciating asset.
If you bought a a chevy of the same year and price you'd be in the same boat.
Don't get me wrong, I love my EG, I paid 10,500 for it and droped about 3 grand into it, and I know I'm upside down on it. Not by much but since I hold onto bikes forever I figure over 15 years I'll have made a good purchase.
I paid 6800 for my Kawi in 03, got about 600 into extras and it's worth about 4 grand now. Many of the guys who have the same Kawi I have part them out because it's worth more in parts than it is as a running rolling bike. Especially if they have dropped big coin on titanium exhausts, exotic wheels, etc.

ORIGINAL: vulhalla
i have a 03 Heritge i bought new for a total of 22,000, incl, taes.
I just checked mine and with some of the xtras it listed, mileage and condition it is only booked at 12,800.
That is Complete bullsh!t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought they held thier value? so over 4 years as of this July, I have lost $9,200.00.
I even put 2,000.00 down and financed the rest.
I still owe 9895 on it, payoff the begining of next year, but i wouldof thought it would of been worth around 17,000.
wtf

yeah, $22,000.0 for a heritage. alot of extra chrome on it from the dealer already, 100 anniv edition, pearl white paint, taxes, title BLAH BLAH BLAH...
I just thought they held thier value better but i guess the value starts going back up after certain years od having them like anything else. When they become Antiques they'll be worth what we paid...LOL
