Default Can't make a decision

HEY ALL, I'll try not to be long winded so here it goes. I currently have 3 scoots (09 night rod special, 03 heritage springer, 08 screaming eagle springer) I have decided to go to the 1 scoot system but am having trouble deciding what to keep. I prefer a bike that is more of a solo job but since my wife does enjoy riding with me on ocassion I also need a bike for some 2 up comfort. So, what do I keep or sell all 3 and start a new. I do like the springer look, a wider rear end bigger motor tham 88 and 6 speed tranny. Any thoughts or input would be great.

I envy the man who can make a decision and stick with it, thats what I'm trying to do now. It doesn't help matters that I like a wide variety of bikes but am learning I can only ride 1 at a time.

I also think "keep the heritage springer" & get a nice 2 up seat when the wife wants to ride along.
