3 Dirt-Cheap Touring Motorcycles Rotting on Lots (That Cost $20,000 New)

Full-dress touring motorcycles suffer the most violent depreciation in the entire industry — and almost nobody understands why. These machines leave the dealership loaded with technology and comfort engineering that costs manufacturers a fortune to develop, and within just a few years lose more value than almost anything else on two wheels. Not because the engineering failed. Because the buyer pool for touring motorcycles is small, aging, and shrinking every year. Today on BikeNexus — three touring motorcycles that cost up to $20,000 new, currently rotting on lots at a fraction of that price. Real data. Real prices. Everything the showroom floor isn't telling you. ⚠️ PRICE DISCLAIMER: All prices referenced in this video are based on market research conducted at time of filming from publicly available listings on Cycle Trader, MotoHunt, and Autotrader.
