You aren't kidding culcune. I've been watching CR here in Nor Cal for months for both D/S's and ATV's and they seem to want a mint for decade old, well-used and rough looking units. Making the higher end CB look better all the time, as opposed to just a few years ago.

My CB guy wants just under 3K for a brand new SSR 250's, a true 250 Suzuki clone, VERY well-built with a warranty. Seems a better deal every day I go looking for used.
