I'm watching the market pretty closely... all over the U.S. (eBay, Craigslist, Cycle Trader, multiple forums, etc...) and it's interesting. Many brand new bikes out there at dealerships down to $13,499 (2015) and $16k-17k (2016). There are still people trying to get out from under some basically brand new bikes (less than 1500 miles) and are still asking $18,500... it's just not going to happen. There is one in particular that I am interested in, which is the year and color I want, and within 150 miles of me, but I hasten to offer him the fair market value, because it is $3500 less than he's asking. I mean, I don't want to be labeled a low-baller... but really.

Good thing I'm not in a hurry.
