That's pretty much every motorcycle nowadays. It only seems like mainstream manufacturer's bikes hold their value, due to the fact that you pay so much more for them to begin with. A $4000 bike going for $2000 after the customary fifty percent depreciation is still a better deal in my book than the $12000 one going for $6150. That $6150 is what I paid for my 2015 Kawasaki Versys 650 ABS two years ago. The original owner bought it new, plus imported a bunch of GIVI accessories (side cases, rear hugger, handguards), as well as installing a MotoWorks lowering kit. He also installed a Corbin lowered seat. That is a $5850 hit in the pocket book when you sell it, versus $2000 for an RX3. Hell, you could give the RX3 away and still only be out the $4000. Perspective is everything.
