No doubt that the Road Glide is a terrific bike! I think if I was gonna trade though, I would be seriously looking at an '09 - it looks like the improvements are very significant.

I am considering a 09 Road Glide CVO Model in Silver/Titanium, I figured with what I got into the Bike plus what I was going to use to Pay this one off I should be able to get a Great Deal. I have looked at a few and they are Awesome Bikes. I will admit that Color is a Factor, I did not want Black to begin with and do not want any more Black Vehicles, I want something that stands out, I will keep you Guys posted on what I decide to do.

I say go for it. I'd sell your existing bike rather than take a depreciation hit on the trade in.

It is a Beautiful Bike, I really did not want Black to begin with but I went with it because of the options on it, I really wanted the Road Glide, It is Crimson Red. I wanted to Pay mine off here soon but I am thinking other wise now, What should I do?

Stick with the Batwing, you'll hate the Road Glide...nobody will wave at you or know what you're riding!!

Pretty sound advise. Would I do it? No, but that doesn't matter. The issue is, is it going to make YOU happy? If it does, go for it. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Those RG owners are a fiercely loyal group. There must be something going on there to make them that way. Good Luck, and post some pix when you get it...
