If ANY dealer is willing to do a trade straight up, you can be absolutely certain that one of two things is true (or both):

Either the bike you are trading is (for whatever reason) easier to sell and will sell faster...

OR, your bike is worth more.

One of those two things (if not both) is definitely true.

Seem like some guys are hung up on buying super low mile used bikes in here like this one.

Sitting in storage IMO is a lot harder on one thats ridden every Yr.

I'd personally rather buy a used bike that was ridden every yr with some miles than one that just sits and rusts away.

Seals, bearing, tires. o-rings, cables. brake fluids. all can deteriorate and cause later issues by just sitting...

I'm thinking along the lines of harleycharlie. Strip the bags and windshield off your, maybe get a fatboy front fender and be done with it.

I would keep your bike. Only year they made that model and the flash paint scheme is great.
