The deal is not very good and you aren't riding enough to justify the addition expense anyway.

Assuming you bought your Breakout when the 2016's first came out, that is only 127 miles per month.
im not the original poster, but who cares what you think about how many miles anyone does or doesnt ride?

you people that like to point that out get on my nerves. You have no idea about anyones situation. Worry about yourself.

True, or the domestic vs metric B.S, ride what you want, and when you can, just gear up!

I agree, you're giving them a pretty much new bike for another new bike that you're barely going to ride and now make a bigger payment, for what, a little more power that you're not going to use cause you don't ride that much.. the people at the dealerships love people like you, but hey, it's your money

My original post was about the bike deal, not anything else. And who said anything about making payments!

I bought a 7k kawasaki Vulcan s Cafe a few weeks ago and had to trade it in a at a 3k loss.. Once you ride the fat boy 114, there's no going back friend. It actually made me holler out loud Whooooo hoo! This thing feels like a dream, stops on a dime, already saved me from high siding this morning with its awsome ABS breaks. Fat tire and short rake gives you confidence to ride!

I will say that in my situation, I don't think I'll ever buy another bike, not until this one bites the dust. I can't imagine riding anything else.

well you made this statement, right. and that statement makes it sound as though you're not going to make payments, you just have the cash, right?..so if you're considering buying the bike, you're either going to make payments or drop the whole lump, right?
