What's up guys. New member from the capital city in NC

My first Harley was a 2003 Road King, loved that bike but eventually got rid of it to buy a house. Mission accomplished, now I have an empty garage, time to fix that problem.

I've looked high and low at used bikes and found a sweet deal on a 2013 Street Glide with every mod I'd ever want.

Unfortunately I made the mistake of wandering into my local dealer and looking at new bikes. Of course that lead to me test riding a 2017 Road Glide Special, now I'm torn between the two. If logic wins out I'll have a maxed out SG, however, logic has a hard time winning these battles.

Go with your gut on this one.
Reason tells me the maxed out SG is the way to go since you won't have to scrimp for every mod you'll want to do to the new RGS. Unless of course you have unlimited funds for that sort of thing.
Just my opinion, of course.
