Default Help need opinions on SG

Currently have a 07 SG. Thinking about upgrading to a newer year but not sure if I want to get 2014 or a 12' or 13'. The new infotainment system doesn't matter to me, the new bags are kind of nice though.

+1 This would be a fabulous time to pick up a loaded 13.

Take a ride on a 14, and see what you think. I love the beefed up front suspension, and the 103 HO motor gets up and goes nicely. Of course the saddlebag latches are sweet.

As I recall, there were 108 changes made to the touring line. You have to decide if you like it. I can tell you, I love my 14 SG.

I agree to go to the 14 also. There is a lot more then just the infotainment.
Every thing eventually gets out of date so I like to start new.
I'm up grading to the SGS but coming from a 2004 FatBoy w/carb.

Having an 07 if you feel the itch to upgrade I say go for a '14. Gonna be a big change from what you have. Six gallon tank, 103', TBW, new frame, wider rear tire and lower profile front tire, beefier front suspension, linked ABS, better cam, new style fairing. No sense of getting a 13 and regret missing out on some of the other upgrades besides the infotainment system. If you had a loaded '12 or '13 I would say hold on to what you have for a few more years.

Excellent advice..I'm hanging on to my 12 until all the hoopla is over, maybe then you might get a better deal. Also I am curious to see what the Fugly line brings to the table...
