RE: How crazy would it be..
I bought an ‘05 1200 sportster in sept ’04, and traded it in on a ’05 RK classic in june of ’05. I’d say it’s not crazy at all. When I was talking to the dealer about waiting for the ’06 models, he told me that when they hit the floor, my trade in value would be about $1000 less. I’ve ridden my dad’s ’05 WG. It is comfortable for long rides. In fact, I was gonna buy one when I bought my king. When I started comparing standard options vs. price, I started looking at the king closer. I’m glad I did, because I like my road king a lot.

I love pimpin on my '06 RKCustom. The ride, the feel, the floor boards. The comfortable back rests I pick up, yes mine are removable... every time she gets off.
Its just a good fit that feels right... damn, now I gotta find a way to get out of work.

How dumb would it be to trade in an 06 DWG for a Road King? Yes, I've probably added about 3k worth of accessories to my Dyna. Don't get me wrong.. I love my Dyna but a part of me is really drooling over the RK's.
(No, I can't afford both, oh how I wish)

I don't think its crazy at all, but why don't you test drive the different RK models to make sure you really like that model. I love my RKCustom's look, ride, and handling. Good luck on your decision.

RE: How crazy would it be..
i bought SuperGlide in July of '05... after several trips i realized i needed more bike... especially if i'm packin' my g/f... i traded in the SuperGlide at the end of December and rode my ElectraGlide Classic home on January 3...
the only time i have buyers remorse is when i make the payment.... to get over it, i run out and jump on my EGC and all the world melts away.
trade in value during the first year of ownership sucks.
i say do it if it suits your riding style better.... makes the woman happy... and you can afford it.
