This kind of thing comes up in the classic motorcycle world too. Some cool old bike, with 15 miles on it and a high asking price aimed at a collector. The problem is, if you buy something like that, or this Paramount, and then ride it, you immediately kill it's value. And if your gonna ride it, why pay so much for it in the first place?

So to me, since I'm a rider and not a collector, this isn't something I'd want. I'd hold out for a cheaper one with some honest wear and go ride the wheels off it.
