I am starting over, so I guess I could. I lost track on the RR.

I try not to, can't risk the fallout should the wife stumble on it.

1. You are a nerd for keeping a spreadsheet like this.
2. I love it!!!! 3. I haven't a clue what my costs have been. I've put on an exhaust, integrated turn signals, and other bits and bobs but have never kept track. 4. I should start something like this! |

I should keep track of stuff like this, but I honestly don't want to know how much I'm spending on repairs and upgrades. Most likely I've already spent as much in mods as I paid for the RC, and my list of things to do doesn't seem to be shrinking by much (but it is shrinking).

No keeping track. Could have paid for a new bike with what I've spent over 2 years.

Never done that. Could be useful on resale- that way you have a definite number and value, not something from out your ass.
With the things actually on the bike, I'm still below list for a 650R- even an '07. Once I get the two big ticket items on, then it will be close to the price of an '09. Still under the cost (list + fees + taxes, tags, and registration) for three years ago. I'd say that's pretty damn good. If I were to sell it- not happening- the miles I've put on would negate the value of any modifications anyway

 I think I paid 6k for mine right out of the crate in 2003. I haven't bought a ton of stuff but with all the little things (bars, grips, bags, gear, etc) I know I've spent close to 7 or 8k total by now.
