Scribbly, you are miss guided some where from ppl who dnt have proper market knowledge ,brother its not like you will get half of your amount back ... if you buy a bike worth 8 lacs n you use it for six months ..& condition remains good ,no accidents,no mechanical problems, then you only have to bear loss of 1 to 1.5 lacs ... woh b if u want to sale it quickly ... if u display ur bike for sale in some showroom ,loss chances are more less then i mention earlier ...
