Keep them both if you can...
One on the road is worth another in the garage.....
But I'm an addict and have way to many bikes.

Nice pickle to be in...wish I could've kept my sporty, but needed downpayment on the FLHX. Definitely nice having the best of both bike classes (sporty for scream'n & touring for cruiz'n). I'm with others who said - keep them both & let the type of ride you're planning determine which key(s) to grab. Ride safe!

I had trouble deciding on what Harley to get also. So, I bought one of each kind. Worked out okay.

Sportys are fun but If I had to pick I would go with the Softail. That being said, What's the Sporty really going to bring re-selling it? probably get back enough to pay a few bills, maybe add some cash to your savings account, The money will evaporate and you'll wish you just kept a 2nd bike. So you Might as well keep it and have fun with it.

To put it in perspective, I know 3 seperate guys who bought new Dyna Wideglides about 5 years ago. They each paid OVER 20K for them. Tax, tags, extended warranty...etc. For that same 20K today you could buy a used Sporty, Softail AND Touring bike.

Like PineyRider said, you're not gonna get all that much by selling the Sportster, so keep it.

I had a '93 Sportster, rode that thing for 12 years till the motor went out last fall. Bought a '02 Heritage in Jan. I wish I could fix the Sportster but it isn't worth it to do so. I'm happy with the Heritage and if I could chose, would chose it over the Sportster.

You have the best situation to be in. I'd vote to keep both!


KISS

If you ride both enough to justify keeping both i vote with the crowd and say keep both. IF one of them is just going to be eating dust in the garage then set it free
