Gotta say that if you are looking at buying a bike as an investment, well I wouldn't bother with the FZS600. Simply too many of them about. Also great bike that it is, is it really a bike that people will drool over in years to come?
This did make me think of one of the young lads at work. He's always dreamed of owning a Ferrari. He's got a well paid engineer's position. He managed to get 20K together and bought a mid 90's F355 with 60K on the clock. Many laugthed and I too thought it would probably skin him. And yup, he's had to spend some serious cash on it now and again. Not sure how long he's had it, maybe 5 or 6 years now, meanwhile he's got married, had a wane and he's managed to persaude the wife to let him hang onto it. It still costs a certain amount to maintain and it's now kept for nice days only. The reason the wife has not insisted he sell it is that he's just had it valued at 60K. Not bad.
