Do you absolutely have to have that '17 right now? I see 'bend over' all over those numbers.

You ask. You owe 23.5 on a 2014. You need to stop financing stuff. Get out from under water and start over you can not trade your way out of that mess. It will just get deeper.

They must be planning to use genuine Vasoline with this deal.
Please man, don't do it. Keep your bike, ride it, and just think it over some more.
I bet your bike is a great bike, enjoy it some more and pay it down, or off.
Thank me later.

I was thinking the same thing. He's upside-down on his current bike but he made it clear that he has excellent credit. He likely signed a similar deal on his 2014 that he is considering on the 2017.

You asked.

You need a new motorcycle like you need another hole in your head. Finance 38,000.00 dollars for a motorcycle? You do that and the only "freedom of the road" you'll experience is the road to fuggin work. I wish you luck in your decision.

Keep what you have and take that extra money and put into it and make it yours.

I was going to trade in my paid off "07SG until I saw the payment and the wife gave me the green light to take that money and put into my bike.. IT HAS BEEN ON SINCE THEN and that was 2yrs ago. HAHAH

I tried to buy a 15/16 this last year......
They kept wanting me to grab my ankles and take it dry.....
Evan made a few counter offers, no dice.
Picked up an 09 with 9888 miles (with all the bells) for a screaming deal.
Paid cash and saving for when I can get a reasonable deal on M8.
That is unless I run into the right deal on a Panhead first

What doesn't make sense to me why you didn't calculate the big price difference and ask while you were sitting at the desk with the salesman.
Posting here doesn't do much good, as readers here don't have any more specifics on the deal than you apparently do.
