if you look at that chart, you would never buy another cvo again.  i mean, $70,000 over 7 years?  that's $10k per year.  and with your average mileage of 10,000 per year, that works out to $1 per mile.

damn depressing is what that is.  put it away.  never let me see it again.

Good job on the spreadsheet. I like numbers myself.  I know the bikes are expensive up front. I have had some many new and used bikes but I just love to ride so I am going to spend some money on a bike that can carry my wife and I anywhere. I do most of my own work on all of my stuff (bikes, cars, boats, homes, etc.) and years ago I decided not to buy warranties to save lots of money. Generally speaking if you are going to have a problem it will show up early. I usually don't like to buy first year models but I did with my 2014.  Still all in all it has been a great bike and no real problems. I don't really like the way clutch works and I don't like that the entertainment system will just flip to weather alert and I have no way to stop it (per dealer, does anyone here know how to stop it?) but these are minor things. The bike has been great. My dealer took care of me when the right side bag flew off on the interstate even after the recall so no cost to me. I put my own lock down on them now (see other posts) so I know I am good there.   All in all, just typical maintenance costs. I replaced brake pads at 20K rather than 40K (l also ride to work in traffic).   Again thanks for sharing your work on the costs.

Nice chart, just wondering if it would be more correct to use total depreciation of bike in total instead of total cost.  My 2015 RGU with 25k miles is probably costing close to the $1 a mile to own as depreciation has been high.

bla Bla Bla ya ya ya....

I've seen many folks on here try to figure out if they should buy the ESP.  This kind of puts that into perspective.

With the new rules or enforcement of no mods on the 2018's or your warranty is kaput, this puts that into perspective as well.

Personally, I won't buy anything newer than a 2013, but I have different reasons.

Don't buy the ESP, Do your own maintenance, screw the warranty, and you'll be $12,700 ahead at the end of 7 years.  Even if you need a major repair, several times, you'll still be way ahead.

But nobody ever said anyone who pays over $45,000 for a motorcycle was really very bright in the first place. And to buy them year after year....

That is a pretty ballsy statement considering you are on a CVO forum.
