I made a mistake...

Just my two cents: I went into a dealer about a month ago. I was bound and determined to trade in my '17 Fatboy S and buy an '18 Low Rider. There was no doubt in my mind I'd be driving an '18 Low Rider home.
I test drove the Low Rider and immediately changed my mind. When I got back on my Fatboy and started riding home, I went "What the hell was I thinking? I friggin' LOVE this Fatboy!"
The power. The comfort. The looks. The cruise control. The ABS. Etc.
For sport riding, Harley style, I hop on my 2012 1200 Custom.
Again, just my two cents.

The mind wants what the mind wants.
Naturally, if I get on the 19 low, and it doesn't feel right, then all bets are off and I'll sell the FB for cheap and find a low mileage Low Rider S and start over with that...
Oh, and your '17 is nothing like the 18+'s - your tires are wide, but not like the new ones. You should try one out to see what I mean.

I know! I saw one with <1500 miles for $16500 about two hours from me. If I go that route, I'd rather pick up from a private seller, rather then the dealer markup.

I'm sure I would miss it if I ever let it go. Good luck on finding the LR you want.
