Pulled the plug and traded my 09 Concours for a 12 model.  Just could not help myself.  Love the dark Maroon color.  Had 37000 miles on the 09 without a problem.  Hope the 12 exceeds that

Congrats! I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you like the new one. I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger myself.

Congrats on your new ride, good report on a trouble-free 09, will keep mine for a very long time.

Good move. I did it last year going from an 08 to an 11. Haven't looked back.

Thinking about a similar move but I can't overcome the fact that I paid about $6k for my 08 with ABS and 3 year extended warranty with 3k on it and last year I racked up about 30k on top.  If I were to purchase a new one the difference in cost would be a lot more then I like not to mention they don't have the ZX14 motor in it yet.  If they were to do that then I would not have to make a decision the HP would make it for me :)
