    I like people that buy a bike and put minimal km on it. Makes it cheaper for me (if I'm buying it from them). Depreciation only counts when you go to sell (I'm not) or it's written off (hope not).

    The GSA is getting close to 120k on it (and the last couple of years have been really low mileage) so I'd guess it's not even worth $10k now Luckily I don't ride bikes to make a profit...

    A GSA with 120k on the clock is probably more like $15k minimum.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    That sounds like a candidate for winding the speedo back to 12,000 and writing to LTSA complaining about morons doing the WOF recording your k's wrong.

    There is a 2013 (mostly the same as the 2010 structurally) with 36k on the clock for $18k on TM right now... It's tempting to buy just so a, no-one else can have, b, the next bike when mine is kapoot. Just need 18k (and somewhere to put it etc)

    I gotta agree,,,,the prices they're asking on TM are exorbitant and for bike with soooo many km's.
    Can someone point me in the right direction of the Facebook motorbike sales groups in Auckland please. I'd rather purchase something secondhand without so many k's, save me having to get another loan for a new bike.

    Never owned either, I recall someone saying the CX engines had some issues but I'm prepared to overlook a lot in something that's different because often they turn out to have serious advantages over conventional designs. And sometimes they don't.

    It's been a very busy winter, but I'll see you for that beer sometime.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    The CX's had some initial tething issues granted but they were fixed and uprated redesigned real quickly (for free) and the bike went on to be one of the most reliable bikes ever.
    They were a London dispatch riders favourite.
    The CX engine was designed from the start to be supercharged rather than the CX turbo being an afterthought. So they were very overenginered.
    Ugly as sin though. Porky as well, but not so noticeable once on the move.

    Hardcase the guy that designed the bike, is the same guy that styled the very ugly Bimota Mantra.

    Plus I actually always thought the RZ and especially the LC's styling was rather poos
    Yamaha lost their way after the RD air-cooled.
    Why they never styled either after a TZ is beyond me.
