When is a good month to sell a GSA? Would you wait until Spring or are there still credible buyers out there now?

Another’s reason why private used market is flat on its arse is because BMW offer 3 year warranty on new bikes and two years on a used bike respectively. Not only that, you also get 2 year EU breakdown cover.
As a private seller or another brand dealer we can not compete with a BMW dealers.
I bought my GSA 6 months to early. Because from August 17’ all new bikes now come with 3 year warranty, meaning my bike naturally depreciated quicker on a used private market compared to a bike that was registered in September 17’.

I thought it was August this year they started offering 3 year warranties.

As funny as your “Advertisement” is, it isn’t actually funny, considering how many people have lost their bikes to scum. Just saying. No offence.
I got properly shafted on the trade in of my Mar 2017 Triple Black GSA. 18months & 12000miles meant that the dealer wouldn't put it on the forecourt, so put it out to trade (even though it had a brand new engine, shaft drive (and housing) rear disk, calliper and pads (all done under warranty) £11K best offer (just the bike, no accessories fitted) the reason given is that "non-TFT bikes just aren't shifting at a decent price" so my "trusty" (LOL) steed is off to Holland
I've gone PCP on an 2018 TB Adventure and see what the next 18 months brings.... It's already bought a shit load of ACF50 and a blow drier!
It's only a nightmare if you trap yourself and subscribe into all that nonsense.
Buy a bike, keep it. Hows that for a novel idea
