Sheesh, you really gotta ask?

What do you want us to say, "no it's a crappy deal"?
"keep your softail"?

Just bear in mind that a high trade-in value is offset by a high retail price. Still, it's off-season and a sale is a sale. If you're happy with the overall price and value, go for it.

$8500 trade in on an 01 is amazing. I'd be all over that deal.

NADA on the SG is almost $22k without any accessories. So you are ahead of the game without the trade already. Not sure what you mean by he is giving you $8500 but really $6500, what is it? For reference Cycle Trader shows 49 2014 SG in the US under $20k

There's only 2 people (if your not married) that have to like the deal. That would be you and the dealer. If you 2 like it, then I'm sure we will all love it
