Congratulations on your new bike! Sorry to hear of the loss of your family members. Thanks for your service to our country!

Lets ride!

I'm one of those guys! Had a '13 SG for only 2 months, granted I logged nearly 6000 miles in those two months so I got my monies worth for it and traded it "up" for the '14 SGS.

My choice, my money, my decision. No regrets and love the 2014. To each his own, if you don't like it, don't have the money, don't have the credit, whatever your reasons it's none of your business what someone does with their time, money, etc.

Spending available money is great for our economy. Let him alone.

It seems that all Internet Forums have some negative know it all people that post just to bash. I collect handguns, especially Glocks and I just left that Glock Forum because of a few know it alls that like to argue.
I also collect Watches and the same thing on those forums. They are everywhere!

Seems to me any rider is free to do with their own money and bike as they please.
If they want to trade it off at 113 miles that is their call and no one else.
They work for their cash they spend it as they see fit.
If they had release a 2014 RGU with the cooled exhaust ports and the new designed bags I would have trade.
Seems dealers here are selling every limited they get in

So what kind of $$ hit are people taking on trading 1 or 2 year old bikes?

I checked the trade in value of my 2012 RK and it sucks.

Are the stealerships giving decent(fair) trade in values for 1 or 2 year old bikes?

Silverbullitt,

I am in no way making a judgment about you and I apologize if it can across that way. I'm sorry for the loss in your family that you have had over the past few months. I was somewhat in your shoes, in that I purchased a 2013 Ultra Limited about 3 months ago from the same dealership. The two sales reps I talked with today ask me "Why in the world would you want to trade a new 2013 for a new 2014?" If I was purchasing today, there is no doubt I would purchase the 2014. I hope you enjoy your new bike!
