Most of the loss lands early: the Kawasaki KLR 650 sheds about 3% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $6,719 it falls to around $4,773 by year five — a five-year loss near $1,946, about $1.07 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Kawasaki KLR 650 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
