I brought home a yellow bike once. My GF said it looked like a taxicab. That's all it took; traded it in with less than 250 miles. 40 large for ANY vehicle is OTT ridiculous. You could buy a decent 2/2/1 in Florida for 40 large. If your bike has been great for 35K miles, why open a can of worms by trading? New bike might have problems. That's why I keep what I got--my bikes are proven, and that makes 'em more attractive to me than a new sled. 'Sides--the MoCo ain't really come out with something affordable that I like lately. Then ya gotta deal with the cat, then the mods start all over.
No--unless you make the kinda $$ where 40Gs are pocket change, I'd eschew the idea.

You could drop a 120R engine into your Ultra, and get a beautiful custom paint job for a fraction of what you would blow on that CVO Ultra. Is there something wrong with your current bike? Why go in debt up to your eyeballs on an impulse purchase? Customize the bike you have now, and save a ton of cash.

Whatever floats your boat. If you got the money, then do it. I guess your helping the economy out by buying another bike. A plus for everybody right??? Win win for the dealer, you, the salesman, the salesman's family, and the rest that need to make a living.

I prefer small batch, single barrel, straight bourbons like Stranahan's, Noah's Mill, Rowan's Creek, Sazerac 1792, Black Maple Hill, Pappy Van Winkle...

True that. I enjoy both and find there is a time and place for all of them. You do have excellent taste in spirits my friend.
