Default would you do this deal?

i kinda fell for the 2011 orange cvo street glide, my dealer has one available. I currently have a 2008 street glide and a 2009 rocker c . the street glide is awesome for me and the Mrs. , and i just love the rocker c for short tripping . I kind of have the best of both worlds. My dealer wanst my bikes as trades as both are mint and good mileages. The CVO here in canada is 39,000 plus 13% taxes.
So short of havin the new toy in the toybox would you give up what i have now? and end up with a CVO that may have a lots of kms on it in a couple years as it will end up as my primary ride? im afraid of losing my shirt down the road.
opinions?

Personally I would stay with having the two........but that is really a choice only you can make. All our bikes are "risky" from an investment standpoint especially if the economy takes another twist down.

IMO it comes down to how much you want that CVO.

I agree. Keep the 2. One for you and one for her. At least you have a back-up bike, etc.

If you can afford to lose all that money, go for it. I was thinking about selling my Road King for a new bike but so far I'm keeping what I have.

Look at what you posted. You kinda "fell" for a new bike but then in your last sentence you say you're worried about losing your shirt later down the road. That last sentence implies you are already planning on getting rid of your new bike in a couple of years. Sounds to me you like getting a new bike every couple of years. If you're in the habit and can afford to lose money every couple of years I say go for it. It's your money.

Your two bikes for one CVO street glide? Straight across, no money changes hands? Or do they also want some of your cash?
