The reason the trade is such a great price is its still the "HOT" selling bike, re-sell is no problem for the dealer,,,,it will be out the door the next day you drop it off.
The SG is a great bike, but there a dime a dozen and not moving on the floor like the bones, The SG will not give you the same money back if you decide to go back to the bones, thats for sure!
Whatever the real reason your thinking of trading up, its what you like....And what works for your style of riding ....no other opinion really matters.

I had an 06 SG. Then, I test rode an 09 SG...OMG!!!! I LOVE the 09 Touring line. That SG was freak'n awesome.
However, it was not what I wanted anymore. I wanted a bike with a soul so I bought a Cross Bones.
You will not be sorry for buying a Street Glide, but don't expect people to stop you and ask about it.

Make sure you really know what you want BEFORE pulling the trigger. Before buying a SG, do yourself a favor and test a Roadglide. You can make the RG look even more badass than a SG, and if you want to use it for a long haul they are a better touring bike as well.

stick with the bones
Hey man u can do what u want with your money. It really comes down to you, but tale this for what it is worth, I have wanted a harley all my life was a toss up between the Street glide and the Crossbones. Went to Hawaii on vacation and rented a street glide cause i was leaning towards that more, road more than 200miles on it all around to coast. I really didn't like it, it was too big to move, too big to back up a small hill. The roads were all coastal and windy and i really didn't like the way it handled two up on a windy coast line, blowing all over the place. I bought a crossbones two weeks ago and love it. it rides better, handles better and looks freaking awsome.
stick with ur crossbones in my opinion

Doesn't matter what we think. You are the one who's gotta ride it. Like some others have said, depends on the kind of riding you wanna do. I too like my Bones, but I won't be going on any milti-state rides. Not that ya can't do it on a Bones, but 2 up and storage, you may need to go the other way.

Good lookin bones...but 15K is a nice offer too. Looks like you'll end up w/ something nice whatever you choose to do. Of course, I'm a little biased

I have done 1000 miles in a day, a little wind whipped an hammered by the bugs but wouldn't trade it for a touring bike fer nuttin!!!
