Default Thinking about another change

I started out on a new 08 Night train and rode it for close to 4 years. Traded it on a 07 Streetglide and have gotten that about how I like it. Bike is fully equipped with PM wheels, Rinehart 2 into 1, PC3,16" apes etc...

OK now to the story. I saw a FB post of my local dealers bike of the week or whatever and almost fell in love. It is a 06 train that is tricked out.

Bike has cams, aftermarket wheels, front fender, lowered, bars etc. I really like it.

I Went and got a quick number on my bike. they offered 12500 trade on my 07 SG and they want roughly 14K for the 06NT which I feel is high. Basically they want my title plus 2200 out the door. What are your thoughts? I was thinking straight trade sounded more realistic LOL...

I am not interested in taking a bath on my bike and wont. Title is in hand and it does ride better like that...

The dealers I have dealt with don't give any more on trade for extras, but they sure do price up for them when reselling.

If it were me I would not trade an 07 for an 06, but it is what makes you happy.

I wouldn't waste my time on another softail.
Not a chance.

Maybe another SG, but don't go backwards.

Took a quick look at nada and the NT is 11200 Avg, my 07 is 14600 avg retail. I would say even or forget about it.

There's a time and place for Softails. Replacing a touring bike ain't one of them. Especially not at that price.
