How're you people ever gonna bond with a bike if you trade every few months?

I love my King & my King loves me. No desire for anything new.

Never trade-in unless you are willing to pay for the convenience.
It takes time, work and effort to sell privately but you will be money ahead.

If you like your bike so much, why the hell get rid of it? For a different color?

Get it repainted if that is the reason. Who says you need to stick to stock colors anyway?

While it is down for paint, maybe a few upgrades to correct deficiencies you may have noticed over the last 77,00 miles.

Maybe go with the high capacity oil pan thing that baker drivetrain has that will lower temperatures and provide better circulation?

Drive it until the Screamin Eagle Chokes and upgrade to a 120R! That's what I'm gonna do!

Oh I would never paint this bike. Paint was the only reason I bought it. Had a 09 and traded it cause of this color. And I do really enjoy this bike and runs like a top....since they replaced the comp and starter clutch!!!!! I guess I just got a little itchy and after seeing the colors of the 2015 SEs I saw how much I liked the colors of the 14s. So I put my bike in the classifieds and if it sells I'll buy and if not, I'll just keep lovin and riding the 2010.

Do a private sale and get what you think it's worth. That CVO is someone's dream come true, you just gotta put a little more effort into finding him rather than let the dealer find him.

Private sale all the way. Some people are scared of mileage, ignoring the fact that total working hours would be a much more accurate measure of wear.

I bet you did long rides and that bike is less worn than some with less than 30K.

I'd have no problem with the mileage myself if I were looking
