I will definetly be looking for used for 2 reasons. 1. I have yet to see a neglected, left out in the rain, beat to crap "slightly used" Triumph. Eveyone I have ever seen has been pampered and well taken care of. And 2. If I'm gonna chop it up I might as well start with a bike that someone else has spent money on the parts I am probably gonna be looking to purchase anyways (exhaust, chrome, saddlebags, intake ect...). And we all know, you loose your butt once you customize a bike. So I hope to cash in on that. But till I have cash in hand I'll just be that annoying wannabe with too many question.....sigh.
