Well this is almost odd Andy.
2 former Will owners.
Both purchased this year.
Both traded the Will in at a Honda dealership within just a few
months of ownership.
I THINK mine had something like 500 miles on it when I traded for the
CB300F.

But one thing seems to be apparent, the Chinese bikes DO have some
real world trade in value. Not a LOT, but then again, they were dirt
cheap to buy in the first place! lol

CONGRATS on the new Honda!
I envy you. Well, no. I don't. I don't like having payments on
something. :-D

I seriously think had I traded the Will200 in on the used 2008
Honda CRF230L. I would still have that bike today.

Feel free to start a thread on your new bike that will show us changes you make over time. I recommend that you peruse Spud's threads.

Thanks Weld, Spud, Darkrider, Adjuster, and Louis for the nice comments. This forum is so supportive, It may be the best forum out there or a least have the best members.

I will look and spuds threads he always has a wealth of information.

I don't like having payments either but I hate taking money out of the bank once its in there, something about having the since of security know you have the money in the bank if you need it. I know interest on a loan costs more than what you earn in a savings account but I usually prefer to make payments if interest is low if I have the money in the bank to cover it if needed.

X2; we want these forums to remain friendly, and we work hard to keep it that way.

I was actually thinking about your thread on trading in your will and how we both got Honda's on the ride home from the dealership.

Any of the SOHC 4.0 where a problem. Bought an 01 Ranger for $2,500 with a broken tensioner. $600 in parts to rebuild the tensioners and chains. In and out in 2 days. Wish i had a lift!!!
