Help!!! I ma having inturive thoughts

OK gang I need some rational perspective because as everyone one knows rational is not my strong suite. I am now actively trying to thin out my stable. At the same time I have not bought a new bike since 06 I have a guy seriously interested in my Victory and I have the Duc that I am being offered 7 to 8k for in trade different dealerships. The sick part of me does not want to be down to just 2 motorcycles ( the 05 turbo Busa and the 06 wing) Yes I know that I am self indulgent but I am focusing on 2 models that stopped production in 08 but I can find several of. The first is the BMW K1200S I find them at a few dealers new on the floor between 11500 and 12500. The other is and I struggle with them because they are not an attractive bike in my eyes but I am finding left over B-Kings every where . between 8500 and 11k. I hate the stock exhaust on these things but love the busa drive train. It is just so damn ugly If I could find the right deal I would take a Gen 2 Busa. BTW this is by no means a done deal, and I am open to suggestions.

BKings can be made pretty darn nice, first thing as you stated would be adding cans, deleting the trash bins on the back. The BMW is nice, but you've already got one of sorts, b/w the Busa and the Wing. I would lean more for an open badass, BKing, Brutale etc.

There is no logic to apply here, get the one that speaks to you. You'll hear it.

OK Rick!
having everything is nice, but have different things is nicer! I would get ride of the Duc, even know it is very sweet and I know that first hand, let the Victory go and get the B-king!
1st not many around.
2nd you'll make it a sweet ride!
3rd it's like having a naked busa, like dating the ugly stepsister and we all know how much fun there are to ride....

I would keep them all, I like haveing a cruiser, a tourer, a chopper, a stunter, and a sick sport bike... Then work on doubles...
And make sure you drive the Bking befpre pulling the trigger, I took one for a ride, and the wind is sickening, I likw the look of the nakeds, but rather have a busa with a modded upper and no lowers...

I do appreciate the feed back. I hate how I get when I am like this. I get obsessive. I am actually going back over the to BMW dealer tomorrow in Troy in the morning then across the street to the Dealer that has Suzuki Kawasaki Yamaha and Honda . I am not going to buy tomorrow but as my wife says .. the HUNT is on.
