Trade Lo for 2012 Night rod??
Ok last year i bought a 2012 Lo but really wanted the Night rod but at the time they only had an 11 to test ride! I hated it cause it wasnt comfy for me at all.. Went to the dealers the other day and they had a 2012 Night rod in stock. Well i sat on it and WOW what a difference the changes made for the new Model.. Very comfy. Im really thinking of trading my Lo in for it cause i got bit buy the performance bug last year but still consider comfort important and the new one is comfy! Is this a stupid move? I dont know if im going to do it or not cause i do like my Lo.. Just want to hear some opinions..

I might see what they offer me first! My Lo is a 2012 with only 512 miles. Plus the Night rod is like $2,000 cheaper then what my Lo was. So it might not be too bad.

Hmm i went from a Fatboy to a 2011 VRSCDX...then traded it in for a Road Glide..
VRods are INSANE to ride for a short trip, that engine is SWEET but at the end of the day i wanted something more comfortable and BIGGER, I didnt feel like anyone could see my on the Vrod..
On the other hand all that power out of the box can not be beat by ANY mods you can do to the lo...
heres the bottom line...What are you looking for? a sport bike? or a cruiser...
The Vrod is a PURE sport bike, its meant to go fast and thats it....and it does that well.

I'm pushing 20k on my DX, and the only comfort issue I had on long rides was the bars. Riding non-stop between fill ups, sure my *** might get a little sore, but not much. But I could get a nasty cramp in my shoulder/neck from those drag bars. My new setup should solve that but I've yet to test it further than an hour at a time... Good luck with the trade.
