'14 FLHTK to '02 FXDXT...have I lost my mind?
I've owned two FXR's in the past (a '92 I never should have sold and a '91), but thought I was tired of old bike issues and bought a pristine beautiful 2014 FLHTK last year.
It's been a reliable and powerful bike that should check all the boxes, but honestly I'm finding it boring.
I put it up for sale (not sold yet) and want a 2002 FXDXT (if I can find one).
Have I lost my mind or does this make sense to other people?

If the bagger is boring than you less likely to ride it because you don’t enjoy it. Makes perfect sense to me. But if you can swing it. Keep the Bagger. Add the other bike. I just picked up a Fatboy. Not because my Roadglide is boring. Not even close. Lol. But to have a different ride and another bike to customize. I enjoy the Fatboy a bunch more than I thought I would. But now I really enjoy the Roadglide when I’m on that. But either way. Yes. It makes sense.

Everybody rides different. If you mostly ride local, carve canyons and mountain sweepers, and don't take cross country road trips, that Dyna is a great bike.
If you ride 4,000 miles thru 10 States in 10 days, give me the FLHTK. That's why I have 2 of them....

Just cruising looking extremely cool? My Shovelhead....

I prefer a smaller bike. If my wife didnt ride with me, Id be very happy with a Dyna, or even a 1200 Sportster. I also prefer the carbureted bikes to fuel injection. I dont need a reason or anyone elses approval. I just like what I like.

id say keep both, at least for now. variety is the spice of life and sellers remorse sure sucks. both bikes serve a purpose and theyre not really the same. some days you need a pickup, some days a sports car fits the bill.
