Well, since we're comparing; Never spent more than $900 for a bike before I bought my America used for 4 thousand in 2007. Course, just like Ian, bought them used (and sometimes junk and in pieces). My first house cost close to 50 K total after I finished building it, 9 years after starting it. I borrowed 25 K to build my second house and it will probably cost 50 K total if I ever finish it. (It's about 80% complete now and plenty cozy, if not pretty everywhere.) I don't suppose I'll EVER spend that kind of money on a machine ever again, but I had to have something brand new and REALLY nice just once that I didn't slave over. My advice would still be the same however. Buy slightly used and save a fortune!
In that case Rich, if you happen to run across a nice used Indian Springfield in the next year or so, and say for $14K or so(new about $21K), let me know about it if ya will.
'Cause that's one of the few motorcycles I've seen and test ridden in the last few years I've got the urge to own, and although something in Triumph's new water-cooled Bonneville line might be on that list too.
(...but I already own three Triumphs, and so that Indian model tops that list)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
