So I have absolutely fallen in love with the Yamaha Raider. My original plan was to ride my current bike('90 GS500) around until next year, then find a cruiser. Well now I'm going to just go ahead and continue riding this bike through next year and wait until winter 2010 or spring 2011 and go find me a Raider. At least this way I'll have more experience for the bigger bike and I'll be able to afford one as these things are still pretty expensive used.

You may get the best deal during the winter months if you live in a colder climate.

That's what I'm hoping for. I'm also hoping for a 600 dollar pay raise before then too. But either way I'm gonna get it hopefully next winter, which here northern Utah can last for a while.

They are nice bikes, keep your eyes open for a good used one.

Yeah last time I looked used '08 models were still going for about 13,000 so I figure in a year or two depreciation will set in pretty good on the '08's and I'll be in a good position to pick one up.

Depreication usually drops the most in 3-5 years.
