Hey guys,
I recently sold my 03 999, mainly because I didn't like the way some of them have depreciated, and since I was going to be out of the country for 2 years for school, but I'll be home every 3 months or so for 2 weeks at a time, I didn't want to just let it sit since I didn't think it would retain any value, but a 999R is something I've always wanted. And its a different animal.
I have a chance to purchase a 2005 999R with sub 5k miles for 11.5k dollars, very clean bike. 2nd owner bike, comes with manuals, 3 keys, stand, cover...
My question is, do you guys think these bikes still have any much depreciation left in them? I mean late model 998S are worth a pretty penny, this is a flagship from Ducati are they going to hold there value over the course?
I know no one can predict the future, but there are some very hardcore Ducati enthuiasts on this forum, I want their advice thats all....
