Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

Taking about a huge engine with an unruly power output (Busa benchmark) and the costs associated with such a large bike.
90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

those big retros are cheap to run and power is just how you control it...big bikes arn't animals that wanna spit you off at every oppertunity...they can be as much of a lamb as your bike...take one for a test ride...you'll wonder what the hell you were worried about...For some people, myself included, 1300cc

You name it, I can bin it!
Having ridden the busa for a month now, I'd say somewhere between what you said and what she said...
It's all under the riders control, but you still have to watch yourself a lot more.
And I agree with most of what's been said here - a CB1300 is a bit of a niche bike, not a lot of buyers looking for one. Concequently you either have to tempt someone who wasn't really looking for one with a low price, or hang out at what it's "worth" for someone who is actually looking for one. A lot of big engine bikes are like that, middle weights are easy to sell. 250s are ridiculously easy to sell. Tardme has made the second hand market a bloody minefield for sellers. Good for buyers though.

I like the big heavier bikes. Having fun trying to find a replacement for "Roxanne" my CBR1000FL. So far I tried the Busa, The Blackbird and a 1200cc Bandit. None of those feel right for me. The Busa and BB bars are too close and low for me as are their blades. The blade and bar was not bad for me on the Bandit, and I was more at home throughing it around than on the BB or Busa (read that as riding faster), but I felt the Bandit felt too light and skinny for me. Will be trying a CB1300s and am interested in the new GSX1400 with fairing kit that has just come out.

dickheads asking 2k more than offered as trades by bikeshops are ruining trademe; I have successfully sold everything I have ever put on trade me.
Remember a sale requires buyer and seller to agree on price. Unrealistic start prices just take up space.

So true, I have had 100% success selling on trade me including 2 bikes, I always set my reserves well below market value, get competitive bidding and close deals at acceptable $, some dick heads on there just haven't caught onto the auction concept and seem to think someone will come along and offer silly $ for their massed produced metal and rubber, even in the face of fierce competition.dickheads asking 2k more than offered as trades by bikeshops are ruining trademe; I have successfully sold everything I have ever put on trade me.
