Yeah, they're over-priced, but with NO money to put down, and negative equity on the sporty, I feel lucky they're even willing to deal...
They're are a sh**load of bikes on CL here I'd pay less for...
It's a matter of instant gratification - I can either ride the sporty and try unsuccessfully to save the money for the bike I want, maybe for a few years- or I can get out from under the sportster, and ride the bike I really want while paying for it for the next 7 years
-I prefer to ride than to wish...
10000 miles on the '01 isn't bad at all IMO - I put that + on the 08 Sporty this year alone.
I really appreciate the opinions posted here. It helps to hear others' views...

Sounds like you already have your mind made up. Rolling negative equity into an already overpriced bike sounds crazy but hey, if you want to upgrade and this is the only way, do what you've got to do I guess.

If they are willing to deal as you say, negotiate the price and get them to throw a year warranty in there. Remember to use your legs, even if you know they will bring you right back later on....lol.
As for which bike....which one gives you a bigger smile when you sit on it?

I'm no expert, but I've looked around enough that I wouldn't pay that price for either of those bikes. Better deals are plentiful around here. as are used fatboys and street bobs.
