I'll probably keep mine for only about four or five riding Seasons...

I don' care for the Anniversary colors BUT was thinking of the Daytona in Yellow ( My Favorite Bright color).
I would have to sell or trade in My 2015 F3 Base Model AND 2012 RT Base Model to get the Daytona AND I decided to spend the $1800 (with Discount?) to get the Circuit Yellow Tupperware for my Black 2015 and even get the Yellow Mono Cowl rear seat cover to Boot.
Have to wait till the 24th for one part to become available.
My F3 only has 7,800 Miles and I hope to sell the Steel Black Tupperware on Ebay for about 1/2 price.

You could work with other dealers, even if they are distant. I'm sure you could get an acceptable deal if you checked around.

Or just wait. In a year or so, you may be able to find a used one, anyway!

The whole idea of a new bike seemed really intriguing at first, but then a lot of time goes into farkling her just the way you want.

Wanting the dealership to do this without additional cost and them giving a fair price on trade (while waiting) I changed my mind.
One dealership is 13 miles away, the other is 35 miles away and a better dealership. Took uber home from there once when dropping off my spyder for repair and it took 1 ½ hours to get home.
In typing my answer here I realize it wasn't so much price as un expected hassle (have lots of other cool stuff going on). I ramble on too much at times pps:
No desire to buy a used Anniversary, and probably no one is going to order it with the low brow fenders anyhow

You are right: your 2010 is a real winner! :clap: :2thumbs:
You made the right choice! :firstplace:
(Now go buy your RT something fancy: it has earned it!

Going to give her a bath today...that's all the fancy she gets now

I'll probably keep mine for only about four or five riding Seasons...

out here on the West Coast that might be just a year and a half :roflblack:
