I don't fully agree with that.... if you have self control
I you have expectations and stick to them.
That is unless they meet them...... then well

I made that exact trade a at the end of June. Best motorcycle related decision I've made yet. Still smile every time I ride.

Good luck! I took a 20 minute test ride, in the rain, on a RGS last week. The next day I signed on a RGU. Traded my Fatboy. This is a wicked machine. (2016's).
