I am moving to the Denver area over the next couple of months and have decided to acquire an SV650, rather than race prep my 2001 CBR600F4i. The question is, do I buy new or used? I think I can rationalize either way and would appreciate your feedback.

New:
- Pro: Latest technology from factory
- Pro: When race prep'd, the suspension components will be EXACTLY what I want, and designed for my body
- Pro: I can control what modifications are made so that I am not class limited later
- Pro: I can trade my CBR in at a dealership, and not bother with private sale
- Con: More $$ for base bike
- Con: No benefit of depreciation taken by previous owner

Used:
- Pro: Cheaper - previous owner takes the hit for bike and accessory depreciation
- Pro: Lots of the work is already done
- Con: Quality of workmanship hard to measure - especially internal mods
- Con: Modifications may not match my body
- Con: Modifications could be class limiting


Thanks in advance!
