must be nice for money not to be an issue..... if i were to buy more bikes... i would get used, but thats how i am, i buy used trucks, never new. Ya just loose so much money as soon as you drive it off the lot, but if you want something where you know how it has been treated, and has a warranty, get new, if those dont matter.... id get used.

i'd say get used, that way you can use the extra cash to mod it, instead of sporting a brand new stock bike, you'll have youre own sick ride

I am kind of partial to new, but it depends on how mechanically inclined you are, and if you canfind a usedone that hasn't been beat up.

if you are going to finance, just go new. used bikes are great if you buy cash!
