Triumph not so ez, even for owners...

Bike depreciation depends on a few things.

Sometimes the new model completely obsoletes the old one. Summore got CKD. Then the old one immediately depreciate like hell.

Case in point, the Z800. The second Z900 came out in CKD, second hand z800 prices dropped like a stone. Now it's super cheap.

In the case of Ducati, just before the timing belt change... value drops like hell. LOL. So if you find a cheap-ish Ducati, this is the first thing to ask.

If depreciation bothers you, buy a 3-5 year old big bike from a weekend hero biker who racks up very little mileage. By the time you sell it on years later, you will have lost very little.

Tip: Many guys buy big bikes on impulse, then 2 years later cannot pay hutang and are forced to sell. Nice bargains to be had here. But beware... some of these idiots lari hutang and sell the bike secara haramjadah (JT), some try sell the bike secara 'sambung bayar'. Steer clear, unless you also the haramjadah type willing to gamble.

Really cheap for how much power you can get in a bike.
I personally use a speed triple R myself.
125+ whp and 100+ Nm of torque for less than 30k and ohlins suspension for the R model.
The only cost that you need to do is rebuild the front forks and rear shock, and probably VC depending on the mileage.
Even with those costs added, it will still be less than 40k.

Main reason why I'm advocating for getting used bikes. You can find gems like these.



Dyno run that I did with my bike which had a power commander installed.

The look is divisive though.

Just barely a year after I bought my 400 and I am already thinking about changing bike

And unlike most of us I am contemplating 'downgrading' to CBR250RR, love the trico color scheme and stock exhaust sound, and it's something I can rev hard for the thrill on road without riding at illegal speed.

Using my bike purely for daily commute, where I am constantly in the range of 40~100, there is really no way to use the excess power. The dreams of doing road trips and Genting rides prior to getting my bike turn into imaginations only, turns out what you think you would do with the bike and what you would really end up doing with it is quite different.

Trust me, the 400 is a lot better as a daily ride than any 250 can be. sporty 250s are tuned for higher end power, which makes it very weak in the midrange, and mid range is what you need in traffic. In terms of weight, there isn't really that much between them if the 250 and 400 are twins.

Even better in city traffic are the 400 class singles. brap brap.
No such thing as cannot use the excess power. I ride a 800 on the daily.
