I bought an 07 Buell and traded it in on an 08 SG after making 2 payments. It cost me 2K to put 5K mileson the Buell. Not a bad deal IMO.
Guess it is all relative - trade-ups don't seem to be doing to great right now for the most part. Wide availability makes it a buyers market on the used bikes (and the dealer is a "buyer") on a trade-in. Kinda like houses??? Keep the 07 and get the IDS, going to do it shortly myself....(My humble opinion...)

I have an '08, so I can't really compare... except my '08 has the IDS installed from the factory. This is one of the smoothest and quietest riding bikes I've ever owned.

Just a little advice, don't trade your '07. You'll take a severe beating about the head and face from your wife. Just get the IDS installed, THEN decide if you need anything like Power Commander, etc.
Please forgive my Dumb A$$ness, But what is IDS ?

Apply the same concept to a car.

Now, next question.......They're all nicey nicey when they want you to buy and then f*ck you when you want to trade-in.

I say go for it, and let us know how long before you sh*t right again.

The Autoworkers just went on stike at GM today. If it's a long drawn out battle, deals on 08's may not be far behind. That said, I hope the strike's a short one.

How bad do you guys think I'll get screwed if I trade my '07 Road Glide for an '08?
I've only made one payment on the '07.
Joe
It'll be so bad the pain will last an eternity... trust me I traded twice within six months... and got robbed...

got a nice 07 Street Glide but lost this...
