Please do it. trade in for those 14 models. Saturate that used bike market. Maybe I will be able to snag a late model bike with low miles for a steal sooner than I had thought.

Sorry just a little light-hearted post for the AM.

"Garemlin" ... I'm thinking that you are just one of many who are hoping for the same thing. The market has/is always been driven ( to a point ) by those who absolutely have to have the latest and the ( maybe ) greatest it has to offer.

Don't wait for mine. Unless the lottery gods are good to me. I keep spending money on my bike and don't want to loose it all, just to start all over.

You're not getting my RKC either, so please "step away from the motorcycle sir".

Besides loving my current bike, I'd never buy the first or second year of anything mechanical. Let them work out the bugs first.

Some people gotta be first, but there's a saying: If you're on the cutting edge, you tend to bleed lot".

Hey I used to be one of those that suffered from upgradeitis until I found my way to my 2013 RG Ultra. But had to sell it. Broke my heart. Now is the time to snag a brand new 2013 for a steal or wait a few years and grab an even better deal on used. Especially if they make more improvements and when the revised RG is released.

Maybe the person who bought your RG will want to trade up?

True but not really interested. That bike was bought for "we". My future bikes will be bought for "me". Don't need an Ultra for myself.

You must have missed them. These are right after I picked it up and put a few rollover parts on. Have since added the Trucklite Phase 7 and Klock Werks Super Savers.
