    The main objection folks have to buying new is price. Motorcycles are expensive, especially compared to home appliances like dishwashers or microwave ovens. However, when you adjust for inflation, a good 600cc sportbike is only about 1,600 bukcs in 1970 dollars. Of course, the 1970 sportbike hadI can get it 50 bucks cheaper at Mulletsville!I can get it 50 bucks cheaper at Mulletsville!spaghetti for a frame, horrid brakes, crummy electrics, shook like Ray Nagin in the Superdome, and made all of 35 horsepower on a good day. When you consider what you get when you buy a modern motorcycle, it's a pretty good value regardless of model or brand.
