As some of you know I have been eying the Feejer for some time now but in order to get one home I need to sell a Warrior or I'll be reminded rather quickly what it's like to live by one's self - been there done that once. Anyhow I was at the local Honda dealer who has my bike on consignment (hard to sell when it's been raining, sleeting, snowing crapola for the past couple of weeks). We can ride year round here in Texas but the winters do have their moments and we might not be able to get out for a week or two. They are trying to talk me into an even trade on a 2007 CBR 1000 RR - black with under tail kit and aftermarket hidden exhaust - LED turnsignals as part of the rear end clean-up and also up front, nice smoked screen and they will throw in a set of CoreTech side and tail bags (about $180 total and possibly some frame sliders as well - another $90). The bike lists for $12.8K with the goodies already on it ($11.5K plus). I've sat on it and was the one who put the bags on it to see what it looks like - very comfortable and the bags actually look like they go with it. It's very tempting but then I go across the highway and sit on the new FJR that came in this week - feels great - like the removable locking bags as compared to the codura ones - but they've got a ton of used bikes and can't afford to give me a top dollar trade-in (actually they don't want to add to the used market they have).
Can't figure out if I'm making a rational choice or if I just have the need to get something new - what am I going to miss with the CBR that the Feejer will give me and vice versa. I know it will depend on the type of riding I plan on doing but I've also got a Roadie that may end up on the block as well if I find one that does it all.
