Most of the loss lands early: the Honda VT750CS Shadow AERO ABS sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $8,249 it falls to around $6,863 by year five — a five-year loss near $1,386, about $0.76 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Honda VT750CS Shadow AERO ABS bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
