Yeah unfortunately, you never know until you get on it and ride. My goldwing....a bike that is notorious for being the most comfortable ever......is not pleasant for me to ride. My connie is far more comfy to me than the wing. However, the wing has 6 cylinders and can pull my timeout without halving the gas mileage....so it stays.
I've come to realization that I'll never sell the connie. It just isnt worth it. I paid 5500 for it in 2013 when I got her. Had 16k on it at that time, and I've just done ALL the customizations on it. Including a russel day long seat....so it's mine forever. You're not gonna get much out of it, much less with it being end of season. If you have room in the garage to store it, wait until next march or april, you'll get far more.
