Even the wife said yeah, I don't know, I want to, but the one I have is great, I just want something different. What the heck do I do?
I'm the exact same way about a Breakout. Every time I go to any dealership, I seek them out and drool. I just know I can't afford one. Plus, I'd lose everything I've added to my bike and it just doesn't seem worth it, when you figure that in.

But where your Low Rider hasn't given you any trouble, mine has had one minor and one very major engine problem.

I would trade for a switchback if I could afford it.

Sell, then buy, never trade. It will cost you mucho deniro to trade with a dealer.

Do as I say, not as I do. Don't do it.
In other words enjoy the new bike.

I had a 2012 Street Bob,and I loved it.But for some time I was drooling over the Heritage.After renting one down in Fla.I got home,thought about all the pros and cons of keeping the SB and same thing for the HSC.Got opinions from my riding buddies.Some said sell it privately,trade it,keep it,yada,yada,yada.Two weeks later went to the dealer traded in the SB and pulled the trigger on a 13 HSC,and never looked back.
In other words..."you only live once.Go for it!".
