Our bikes along with most bikes have been losing value quicker than the stock market has been. I haven't planned on getting rid of mine, but I can see why it could worry some folks. I bought the FTR knowing full well it's one of those weird quirky uncategorized bikes that would be difficult to sell later on. It should appeal to everyone, but it's in a weird position. Most consumers looking at Indian Motorcycles are cruiser guys. The FTR is more akin to the Ducati HyperMotard, or KTM Duke. Both of which are also kind of niche. I think a reason it wasn't as huge as we probably think it should of been is just that, not enough people actually riding it. That's all it took for me. But I could tell it wasn't going to be nearly as popular as it should be. Just not enough of a market, and the motorcycle crowd in the US is about as opinionated as a group can be. If you buy and indian, Harley guys talk shit, sport bike riders talk shit, adv riders talk shit, etc. There so many little cliques and groups, not as many people who just love bikes, love riding and couldn't care less about what the name on the tank says. BUT, I think with the FTR as long as the community keeps embracing and supporting it, will keep it's little niche it's carved out and will bounce back at some point. Anyway sorry for the mini-rant, but the whole bike world in general is a huge mess right now, hell the whole power sports/motorcycle/automotive world's are a huge mess right now.
