sold my blade :(

[kurt535]

mixed emotions...had a 900rr from 2000 with 9k on the clock; in the red white and blue colours. i was second owner. i cared for her but just wasn't riding enough so have sold my beauty. it feels the wrong thing to do but no point hoarding all these toys if they dont get the exercise they need. am just down to the cb1300s now..

sad day for me though

You're going to regret this more in 10 years.

Selling because of needing the space is one thing, but because it wasn't being used much...

Not suggesting that selling was a financial necessity, but wasn't this at the point where it was a free bike? The few hundred a year on insurance and servicing would have potentially been offset by increase in value. And there it would have sat ready and waiting for those 3 or 4 times a year that you wanted to go out on it.

Way to make him feel better chaps!

I sold my Fireblade in 2015.

I don't miss it.

[bozzy.]

May as well let somebody else enjoy your bike if you can’t. It was made for riding after all!

[dibblecorse]

Best thing to do really ..... no on holds onto white goods for a suspected increase in value ....











PS.. just trying to make you feel better OP.

Ty all for your replies.

Yes, a good verbal shoeing is the order of the day. I have no doubt it will go up in value. horses hair shirt for me for the next few days i think.

on the upside, im 50 so in 20-ish years or so the pain should be permanently over

Still have my 95 RRS in my fathers garage, had it since 99 so owes me nothing, lovely to look at but not ridden it for 3 years... very sad.

The things you own end up owning you. Can’t take them to the other side anyway.

I saw a nice one the other day. I've always wanted one but everyone I've looked at has been fked.

This one had only done 9000 miles. But sat for 6 years. Price was £2500 I think. When you consider there's mot, carbs, suspension, brakes and tyres to do. Bloody hell these are creaping up in price.

Honestly, it was a weight off my shoulders.
