Just curious, do bikes hold their value as far as trade ins?

No. They plummet in value.

Buy the best maintained bike from a private party seller.

Also, buy a smaller bike and get better at riding and then sell it and move up.

My first bike was $750. I dropped it on its side 4 times and sold it for $600.

Then I took two separate motorcycle rider safety courses and felt much more confident.

Next bike was $1800. Only dropped it down once. Two years later - Sold it for $1500 in one weekend.

Had 3 other bikes and never laid one down in the last 15 years of riding.

I currently do not own a bike. All this bike talk is making me want to go shopping for one asap.
