I'll keep my SG for several years. I just bought it in April and it's paid for. I see nothing to upgrade to. If I later want an Ultra, I'll just add the pack and extras. I think adding a new part every now and then helps keep one's interests up.
I have had this one (02 Ultra) for nearly five years, and 40,000 miles. I bought it for retirement use so I probably have bought my last one. Nothing the newer ones have has motivated me to trade for newer, plus I expect this bike to remain what it is: Ultra Classic.
