Way to go. Get what you want now.
I don't think younger guys (I'm 66) can understand what it's like when you get to the point in your life you can see the end of your riding days. When I retired, about 1 1/2 years ago, I bought a new '17 SGS. It may be the last bike I own.

So I am a long time Metric rider who came over to the other side almost two years ago and bought a beautiful SGS (16) when I looked around and I had knowone to ride with. I couldnt decide between a SG and RG and in the end went with the lighter bike (Im not getting any younger and I found a full touring bike roo much). So while my SGS is a great bike it just didnt do it for me. Every time I saw a RG I would curse myself for not buying one I.e. when I came back from a trip . I love green bikes so when the 19 Kinetic Green RG came out I said **** it I want one. I hate trading so soon but I figure no use keeping a bike Im not in love with which is coming up on tires, battery out of warranty etc. just hate doing the reach around so soon. Am I nuts? I usually keep my bikes for years but Im 64 now, coming off a heart attack and how much longer do I have to ride? May as well ride something I want. Long story short I am picking up my new Green RG tomorrow and am pumped!
