Read the last sentence of this article. Then, pass it along to everybody that doesn't get it, seemingly anyone looking to buy an air-cooled Buell.

I just sold my 03 XB9SL after having it posted for only a week for $900 more than I owed on it even though it had been dropped once. I was completely honest with the guy and pointed out all of the defects because I had a really hard time letting it go as it was my first bike. i thought at first the 1125R was my next bike but have decided on a 12R or Daytona 675. I know Im not ready for the 1125R yet.

It will always retain a strong resale value.
The word "always" is bad when used in this sense. There are exceptions. And in the US, the XBs definitely don't hold their value all that well.

Buells hold their value here in New England. In my opinion, of course.

"...get a mutual fund."

Heh... that's what I always say to people who say they want a motorcycle but have never ridden one. It's the best advice I can give them as an experienced motorcyclist.

Resale value is weak, for sure, here in the US. It is very different from mothership Harley but even the big twins have lost a little luster the past few years.

So, obviously, it must be a good market to buy a used Buell, right?

The resale value for XB Buells in the UK was pretty good up until ~2006.

My 04 Firebolt cost £7645 ($15,000) and is now worth £4250 ($8600) trade-in, £5250 ($10,600) to sell.

I sold my first 2005 XB12R for $2000 more than I paid for it, a month later.
