That's because you bought both bikes brand new. There's nothing wrong with doing that, but if you buy a brand new vehicle (whether it's a car, boat or motorcycle) and then trade it in after a year for another new vehicle, you'll always lose money thanks to the big depreciation hit as soon as you drive it off the lot.
