Dont think i could do that. I'd have to be trading if for something almost immediately or taking the cash in for a down payment.

When will the 2012's be available? Seems like you'll be missing a lot of riding time.

While you are waiting for the 2012 models, rent a V-Rod and whatever else you want to ride. Then you can have a better idea of what will work for you. Or......just get a Road Glide Ultra and take a long trip to think about it.

If you have been riding an Ultra you'll never like a V-Rod.

Now that you got rid of your car it's time to get a bike.
