Considering the comfort this bike gives my wife and I, and the proven reliability of the Goldwing platform. I can't see parting with mine for a very, very long time. My main longterm goal would be custom paint. Resale value is the least of my worries, and I have another bike if I feel the need to act like a hooligan. Though my trusty Bandit has gotten very few rides since the "Death Bat" has come into my life.
