And most important on the newer bikes...FUEL INJECTED!

My bike was Carbed... and NEVER had an issue with it... even in Early may in AK(which is VERY EARLY SPRING for AK) 30* mornings... bike took 2 times to crank over... granted it needed a bit of choke but I set it then turned it down as the bike warmed up.
and I see what your saying... but when these motors can easily run 2-3x longer than most will see with proper maintenance then why spend double the money just for a newer bike?
it comes down to preference... I'm torn between the two... I don't like assuming others issues, but don't like taking the big hit on $ of buying a new bike. I'm the same with cars... though I know how to work on my Truck inside and out... so I'll buy a Toyota pickup in the worst condition if it's a deal. bikes... not so much. so I'm leaning towards new.
