We Always think our bikes are worth what we are asking for them and in most cases, the market tells us differently....Buy high sell lower.
There will always be a demand for CV because there is a finite supply, pristine examples will always be in demand which will move lesser quality examples of the same model up.
However I fear for most of us we will not reap the rewards that we imagined when we told ourselves what a great deal we landed....maybe our grandkids or their grandkids will...so in the meantime I will ride my Gios with all of its paint chips past the deposit box at the bank.
Bikes have never been an investment for me but a hobby....winter the worst time to sell a bike but also the best time to buy.
