I'll let you know what it's like in about 17 hours. My new baby is getting battery charged and reggo'd today/tomorrow morning.
New 09 Husky SM610 to replace the BGAB and the nicked DRZ. huzzah.
Never bought a brand new vehicle... just can't bear the instant value drop when it rolls out the showroom door!
Which is why you all should!! Then sell them to cheapskates like me!![]()

ninja 250 2008
2008 drz400sm
k7 gsxr600 ( was a few months old when I got it )
07 Hyosung GT250R (3km on the clock from MR)
08 CBR600rr (800 demo km from Boyd)
I didn't think I could afford (or wanted) to buy anything brand new… until I did the math
I was spending $140 in petrol + $40 for parking to get to work every week in my car (plus being an angry man stuck in traffic).
My new Hyosung 250 was $7,100. It used $30 petrol per week, and parking is free saving me $150 every week. With the money saved, the Hyo paid for itself in full in 12 months. I sold that bike after a year for $5500. Now, this is the amount of money the bike made me because I would have spent that amount in petrol and parking.
I put that money toward my current CBR 600 costing $14,500 so this bike owed me $9000. I pay more in petrol ($45/wk) but it still saves me $135/wk. After 17 months the bike pays for itself. I’ve had it for just over a year so in 3 months time it’s all square. Anything I get for selling the bike after that is money made… to possibly go on the next one and we start all over.
I don’t know why more people in my situation don’t swap over. Bikes pay you to ride them
Oh, yeah… I’m over the moon.
