Very valid point that you bring to the table here, hattitude. I prefer my 16SG. I have the most money in that. While I would prefer the M8, my 103 performs a little better than a stock 107 with my tune, header pipe and A/C.
Wow, a lot of people added stuff while I edited my post... getting slow in my old age...
If you want to keep yours, then do as some have said, price the new one for a quick sale. You'll avoid making who knows how many payments, waiting for it to sell...
As I added to my last post....
You aren't the first one, and damn sure won't be the last one, to go through something like this.... you'll be fine!
I will be going to the dealership tomorrow. I want them to throw numbers my way about what they can and will be able to do. I will not..... I repeat.... WILL NOT be taking either bike with me in hopes that'll prevent any rash decision on my part since they wont take a trade without actually seeing the bike(s) first. I guess that'll be my second step in this process. The first step being reaching out to this community, of course.
I love the M8 motor. Its nice. That is why I am considering trading in for 18 RG. The fact that the bike was hers, I am not down to ride it and claim as mine. I want to be rid of it.
would you consider a take over payment scenario?? I would be down with that....my credit is excellent, what would it take? a few hours at a bank?

I would much rather get it completely out of my hair all together and relieve myself of that credit risk. I would be more than happy to sell you the bike. If your credit is excellent and you can make payments, getting a loan shouldn't be a problem?
