Re: Where to buy new?
And to answer your original question, if you decide you do want to buy new, Honda of Norfolk is the only stealership in VA I have ever been to and left not wanting to kill anyone. Personally, I would look on ebay and cycletrader.com and see what the best price you can find on a new one is and call them up and make arrangements to make a weekend out of it and go pick it up.

Re: Where to buy new?
Point made. Will do. 
You're definitely right about aftermarket parts. I'm not one to leave anything stock--and that would be a horrific waste of money to buy new, and mod. Very expensive.
Guess I'll just take my time and pick out the perfect lightly used, modded bike.

Re: Where to buy new?
Not trying to be nosey or sound like a dick, but weren't you just desperate to sell your bike like a month ago? I think its great your wanting another one but like mnch said I'd be realy hesitant about buying new, 99% of people won't keep a brand new bike long enough to make it worth it being new to them. I bought my current bike brand new but ONLY because I work at the dealership and even then it was a hard choice. My 2003 1000 I picked up in 2003 with 120 miles on it, for like $2,500 below retail, if I was buying "new" I'd look for a deal like that, tons of people buy a brand new bike, ride it three nice sundays in a season and then lose interest or can't afford it and sell it cheap, I'd let them take the depretiation unless you can absolutely gaurentee yourself your going to buy it new and keep it until it dies.

I was selling it for two primary reasons: The situation I got myself into with the ticket and court, and to pay two separate attorneys without forking out so much out of pocket.
I know that was stupid. All of it. I regret selling it... At the time, I was desperate to sell. I lost a bunch of money.. and now, unfortunately, I'm ready to hop back on another one. I'll probably go with something used and let someone else pay for the mods and the depreciation.
