Still haven't pulled the trigger. I have approved financing with a good rate. I just am not quite happy with the deal yet for a 2012 at a dealership in Ocala, Fl. The problem is, the wing is a great motorcycle and I have some useful add ons already. The C14 is a great motorcycle also. One of the things that frustrated me with the 08 C14 was the seat height even with a Corbin and handlebar risers. i still dropped it several times. You know a particular type of bike gets dropped alot when there is a separate thread dedicated to people dropping them. I have a 30 inch inseam. Also, you have to buy the equipment for music, crashbars, trunk, handlebar risers, new or modified seat so you can somewhat touch the ground when it is level. No cruise control for long trips. I tried the throttlemeiseter and in the mountains it is a constant issue of decreasing speed going uphill and increasing speeds going down. I travel to the mountains quite a bit.
So, I am still considering the C14 and really missing having one. You know, the old grass is always greener on the other side until you get on the other side and you realized it isn't.
Thanks for the interest and the people that have given me some useful leads. Dealer in North Carolina quoted me a pretty strong price. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get away from work and then there is always the possibility that once I traveled all that distance the deal could change and I have wasted the trip and money for nothing. I have an inherent distrust of dealerships as I think many of you do.
