She hates change so getting her on another bike is a nightmare then the test ride she just says "is this one 9 grand better than the other one"

The question is not is it 9k better but is it (the likely depreciation over your ownership) worth more than the other.

Must admit I don't really consider depreciation as I always assume that it'll be worthless by the time I'm done. Tend to keep things a longish time unless I manage to destroy it first which isn't unheard of.

I tend to keep my bikes as well so depreciation isn’t a factor. Had my GPX 20 years and had the Bandit about 8 years.

The suspension is notoriously soft on almost all Japanese bikes and I put this down to the fact they build them for the average Japanese rider who are half our size  

Yup, being 5'3 and only 60kg I suppose I am the equivilent of a Japanese man right?  So never found the suspension too awful on my Yamaha/Honda bikes!
