Default Anyone buying?

New member here... just posting the question as to whether anyone out there is buying a new bike this spring? I know the economy has made things tough for everyone.. the reason I ask is I've been trying to unload an R1 for a few months with no bites at all! It just has me wondering... Thanks for reading.

There are a lot of people that are buying, but there are also a lot of people who are asking too much for their bikes. I'm not saying this to be a dick, but people aren't going to buy things right now that aren't a good value.


Where have you been trying to sell your bike?

Most people aren't going to pay the ridiculous prices people are asking for bikes right now. I've seen quite a few mid to late '90s bikes listed for $3k.

Last time I was at Cycle World the guy told me they hadn't sold a bike in 3 weeks.

Im picking up a new (to me) bike this weekend, and its a hell-of-a-deal.

As everyone said, some people are asking way too much, but then again, i have seen a lot of good deals on the WERA forum.
