I think one reason a fair few BMWs, Triumphs & Harley's end up on Tardme with a few km's on them is because a lot of born again bikers buy them, and then decide it's not what it was like back then or don't ride it enough etc.

They tend to go for those brands as there's some crazy idea that they have more mana then Jappas

Though for most of them I think the mrs makes them sell it lol
