reading comprehension is not a strong suit with many on this forum.

I just got my 2019 last month and already over 2k miles and am autoxing it already and will soon be doing track days. It's built to be driven, it's not an exotic, the value will only continue to go down. I sure didn't spend 70k on a car to look at it standing still while thinking about what the 2nd owner will pay for it. :-)

Eh, pik is at least 20 years old, so it probably was a female. 
I've run into the type: The weekend "fully-uniformed"* Harley tough guys who are exactly that -- pencil pushers etc. during the week (clean hands, clean fingernails). The vast majority that I've talked to wouldn't have ONE CLUE of how to fix their bike if they got stranded. But most of them had new bikes so it wouldn't happen to them.
* The Official "I'm a non-conformist" Harley Uniform: Jeans, some sort of work boot, a black Harley T-shirt, an official Harley Davidson leather jacket (priced double what it's worth) an official overpriced Harley Davidson helmet, leather gloves with no fingers (? WTF? not kidding) and of course a Harley Davidson handkerchief (clean or not) tied around your head under your helmet, visible only when the helmet is off. I think that covers most of it. Of course there are HD rings, beer mugs, etc. which must be taken along.

You can't even begin to compare the two bikes.
Me:
1. I can and do carry my wife.
2. I can and do travel the nation on my bike, with my wife.
3, I can and do travel in style enjoying the back roads of America
You:
1 None of the above.
2. Ride alone on your bike.
3. Ride a foreign bike

Lol, in style on an hd.
You seem so proud of yourself for buying a motorcycle at a foreign clothing boutique.
fyi, you can ride 2 up on an rr, unless the "wife" won't fit

Everyone has different reason to own a Corvette and some like myself consider themselves more of a collector. I like to keep my car in pristine condition and a garage queen with very low miles. It is hard to do this if you drive your car a lot on road trips, events, tracking it or racing it. It just gets beat up. Which will hold there value better - no question one that is a garage queen. But I totally understand that most people have them to drive and have fun with. I would like to drive mine more, but I cringe getting on highways with big trucks throwing rocks on my car. So I just puts around my area. I supposed I could have bought one that was rough around the edges so it wouldn't matter so much, but that's just not me - I wanted perfection.
