i follow a lot of bike sales on ebay, expensive used bikes (ducati 748/916/996) are selling very poorly, even not meeting reserves that are well below book value, it seems like they were selling better at the beginning of the year after a falloff at the end of last year. not the most scientific of studies but it sure feels to me like there's a glut of bikes out there fwiw

>> I'm kind of leery of motorcycles as there has been such a huge run in them during the bubble.<< Another contrarian indicator. My father often had emergency-room duty as a surgeon, knew everyone for miles around, and said resignedly of those who rode motorcycles, "They all end up there." Those bikes may have got some of them out of the market at the top <grim g>.
