Here's another thought...
W/R, you could always do what I did. I wanted to swap my XSR for the CB or Triumph. This made the most financial sense to my prudent mind. Once I came to realize that this wasn't possible, however, I had to switch to Plan B, which was to rationalize to myself why it would be okay to go ahead and buy the CB or Triumph anyway, while keeping the XSR.
And that's what I ended up doing. Ultimately, I wanted a '17 CB1100 EX so badly that I was able to convince myself of practically anything in order to justify getting that beautiful red bike.
The mind and heart working together are pretty awesome that way. Give the heart enough incentive, and the mind can be talked into just about anything!
So, yep, keep your current CB. Have Samurider build you a larger tank in whatever color/paint scheme you desire. Pop for some new suspension. Bam. Your problems with your CB will be solved, and you'll feel good about being faithful to your trusty steed. You won't have to deal with any guilty feelings over dumping her, when she didn't deserve to be dumped.
Your prudent mind will be satisfied. Justice will have prevailed.
Next, go ahead and buy the RS anyway. Make your lust-filled heart happy.
Think of this as Moto Utah. You can have multiple wives, guilt-free, so have at it!
