What I noticed when buying though was they appear to hold their value. A lot of listings were only slightly cheaper than buying new, I ended up heading into the dealer and stumbling across a very low-km (basically new) trade-in, it all checked out and honestly as it was my first bike I liked the peace of mind of buying from a dealer.
I know a lot of people will say not to buy new, that you'll want something bigger soon enough, get something cheap to learn on.. But I don't intend on selling the R3. I'll either end up with it as a weekday bike and an R6 (or something) for weekends, or it'll slowly turn into a track-bike.
Welcome to two wheels anyway!
