  1. But when does a new bike become "old"? In two years you need to freshen up the forks, change brake fluid etc. Brake calipers need their annual cleaning if you want to avoid dirty and corroded pistons... Then comes a new chain, a valve job... grease swingarm bearings . Bikes require a lot more involvement in maintenance than cars if you really want to keep them in top condition. Of course you can sell it every couple of years and get another new one, but if you want to keep it long term you need to work on it.

  2. I definitely get your point. I have the same sort of feeling with photography. I used to stop everywhere to snap a photo. Going to events I'd do the same thing. But then I realized that in the process of getting the "perfect photo" I was missing out a lot of other things. Congrats on your new bike! May it carry you many kms w/o any road incidents. Waiting now for you to discover track riding on sportbikes! :) I envy you for the dirt roads you seem to have available where you live. I have a WR250R dual sport that has nowhere to go off pavement.
