 so bob i have a question for you on the new bike
if you decide to get a new bike, and your dealer wants your 14 now as a trade in so he can sell it, are you ready to do that. that can leave you with out a bike for quite some time
NO BIKE AT THIS TIME

Never heard of a dealer wanting the trade before the new product is in their hands. Id never give up my ride until they produced the goods.

Wow. Well that would not have happened with me. I dont care what their policies are, i could always just not do the deal. Thats extrmemly shady. im actually in the car business and if i ever tried that i would be hung.

No, sorry, but it is YOU who was wrong.
It is YOUR fault if you let them get away with that.
And doing that is not typical at all.......with ANY kind of vehicle.

Pleaese keep in mind that we did the same thing when we traded for the 2014...
We dropped the 2010 off in September, and picked the new bike up in February...
If the deal flies, and I am guessing it will, please make sure you have your copy of Carly Simon's Anticipation song. And...I am hoping it wont be to long a wait.

Yes, what he did is not wise.
"Deals" like that can get you into a LOT of trouble sometimes.
What if the dealer decides he can't honor the deal after all........AFTER he has already sold your trade-in ??
People sometimes buy a used vehicle site-unseen. Some of those deals come out good but some come out REALLY bad.
Just because it works sometimes does NOT mean that it is a wise thing to do.
Giving a dealer your trade-in to sell before you have your new vehicle in hand is just......mmmmm.......not a smart thing to do, no matter what you think the justification IS.

Thats a little different than blindly just turning your machine in and having it up for sale while you wait. Hey if theres a buyer lined up, thats different. You sort of have to do it then.
As a consumer im definitely against it, but as a dealer? Makes perfect sense

Works For Me
That's the same way I've always done it was make a good trade, give the dealer the opportunity to give me a better deal if I give the bike to them now.
But dealing with the same dealer over the years, you know what to expect.
I did it with a 2008 to 2012 to a 2014-?
Planning to do the same thing this year but don't care much for the color change I would at least like a different piece of plastic on it even if
mechanical is the same. Just so you can see it's different from the previous year instead of just the color of the plastic. I was a little disappointed
coming back from the anniversary event.
Traded trucks last year at least between the two models I had on the new one has a different grill and tailgate.

Bad advice is bad advice.
Pretending that it is a good thing to do doesn't change the fact that it is NOT a good thing to do.......for most people.
YOU, however, can certainly choose to do it however you want; just don't blindly advise others that it is a good thing for THEM to do......because it probably is NOT.

Any plans on putting the new ride in a plastic bubble to show off once you get it.

the way i see it is that if i decide i want a newer bike, so my dealer wants my bike as a trade, but he wants it now. ok i give him my bike now. the price he offered me is the price i get no matter what. if i miss a little ridding time, oh well, i was willing to sell my old bike, so i did. if for some reason the dealer didn't sell my old bike, who cares, i wanted to get rid of it, and got the price i wanted to. by the time my new bike came in, the price he offered me for my old bike could of gone down. a scratch, some extra miles, a engine problem etc. so i am still glad i made the deal.
