You did what you wanted to do, and you can't take it with you. The '14 had enough changes to get your business. That's saying something. Howsome-ever, the average guy isn't retired or looking to blaze through his savings before he's too old to ride; for that guy, losing 3-4 G's on a trade just for a few changes is probably a bad plan.
I had a friend for over twenty years who was addicted to buying motorcycles, both used and new. I've not spoken to him in several years, but at last count he had owned over 100 motorcycles. He simply could not stop himself from buying several motorcycles every year. It was really a serious problem for him and he had to file bankruptcy, among other problems.
Sounds to me like you know exactly what your are doing, but that "new bike fever" can really put a dent in a guy's finances if he's not well-heeled.
As far as renting a bike, that sounds very extravagant to me!
