I would keep the Wide Glide. Going forward there are going to be very good deals to be had. New and used. Or barely used. Sad but true. I just bought a Sportster 2007 with 138 miles for $7000.00. At your age time is on your side. Save up a bit more and in my opinion if you are debt free do not get use to paying interest.That is what got us into this whole %$%^ing mess.

At this point in time what i am saying do not be in a hurry to go into debt.




Plus it is nice to have two bike.

Hey buddy the # of used bikes in Wisconson at the dealers are going fast . You may get a better offer on your Wg a little more into spring hang it there. Not to mention theres a lot of low milage used bikes still under warenty that would make the cost difference sting a little less. Good luck

Bro, You have to go with whats in your heart. If you can afford two bikes then so be it. I some times wishI had another bike that I could ride for short runs on bike nights, but I can only afford one bike, my Ultra and believe me she's a sweet ride. The street glide is a sweet bike also, but only you know what you can or can not afford. Good luck with your decision and your future... "D"
Very well stated, good luck on whatever you decide and ride safe![sm=biker.gif]

sorry bud, but nobody can answer that except you. Do what works for you and your budget and just be glad that you get to ride, whatever it is.

Not so I can answer it for him.

Buy it but what ever you do DONT BUY A ROAD GLIDE!

If I had to choose between the two I would definately go with the street glide. I would love to have both, they are very different rides.
