FWIW...
Better to have two bikes with one loan, than 2 loans with one bike...

I bought a new '78 Low Rider in May of '78. I had to finance and it cost me $148/month for 3 years.
In Sept of '78, I moved to CA. Things cost more out here v back home. I was looking for a new, affordable Ins policy in Oct of '79. My old one ran out, and my bike got stolen a week later.. I had just under 2 years of payments left.

I "wisely" bought another Harley (instead of a car). I got a new '80 Low Rider, financed at $168/month for 3 years.

So for just under two years I was paying 2 HD loans ($316/month) for one HD bike...

I've never let any Insurance lapse since...

We like options over here lol.



Laughs aside, if you really have to downsize to just one bike, I'd choose the one I saw more of a future with.

Ride Safe, Ride Free.

I seen you listed it in the classified ads and marked it sold. Did you just change your mind
or did buyer back out?

No I won it as a Billiard Grey version and swapped it at the dealer for a black one. I could not edit the thread so I marked it sold.

Right now I am going to keep and see how things go.

Ha. But that's the issue for me. Street Glide to Road King is not much of an option. So similar it feels redundant. If they were different things it may be easier to go with both!

Let me read your post again…Nope, no mention of winning a bike.

So, what’s the problem?

I would keep the SG if you want to tour or long rides, ie: radio, fairing, hell you can even add a tour pack. That's just me I'm sure you will figure it out. Great position to be in.
