I decided to take a look at the bikes-for-sale listings on one of the popular motorcycle forums. The forum in question has a focus on ADV bikes, but it's a large global market place. Anyway, here's a listing of ads that had activity (new posts, new replies, etc) in a one-day period (business hours, Eastern time). Just found this list interesting.
Discuss: ready... set... GO!
What’s for sale…?

Wow! Seem to be a lot of Beemers in that list (more than a third of the bikes listed). Also seems to be a dis-proportionate number of non-adventure bikes, considering you got this from an adventure-centric forum. But that could just be people trying to sell one bike to be able to buy another. Still, an interesting list.
I bet that 2011 Kawasaki Versys is one SWEET ride!!! Someone should buy that.
I do wish I had more data behind the reasons for the sales and the replacements, where applicable, chosen. That’s a topic for a deeper survey that I think I’ll put together.
