I bought a new, 2012 Sportster 1200C. Rode it 100 miles and traded it on a Super Glide Custom. Am I the only nut here?
Pfft thats nothin! I traded off two CVOs in two weeks. Traded off my '10 FatBoy Lo and '07 Nightster and bought an '11 EGU CVO ended up not really liking it so I traded it for a 'RGU CVO a week later. $5k oops. Traded the RGU off a week later for an '11 Street Glide & '11 Super Glide Custom. Another $5K oops.
Did you get the Promo deal that gave you a free pair of assless chaps and fingerless gloves? Or you could choose the mushroom helmet that was one size too large.
The only insane part is that you didn't trade the Dyna for a Softail or Touring bike yet.
I actually bought a Dyna a few months back and already traded it for a touring bike. Missed having the windshield, saddlebags, cruise control and comfort for long distance hauls. Whatever makes you happy and doesn't leave you broke...
i had my 1200c for about 6 months, i settled for it when i bought it. my dream bike was a fatboy until i went in to buy an oil filter at the dealer i saw my heritage traded the sportster in and actualy con the dealer into giving me 700 more than i payed for it 6 months earlier
Bought a 2010 SG in sept 2010. Traded it for a 2012 FLHTK in feb of 2012. It had issues and ended up being a lemon and ended up with a 2013 FLHTK in sept of 2012. Now have the urge to trade it for a 2013 ULtra CVO. So I may be a little slower in trading than some of u but still seem to get that urge frequently...
