Default good deal on this bike?

hi everyone, this is my second post, but i've been offered what i think is a pretty good deal on a new bike.

first, i have a kawi 900, 06, bought it last june. that is my first and only bike to own, as i just started riding last june. i fell in love with riding as everyone told me i would, and i like my vulcan, but i want something bigger and more touring, so i went back to my dealer to see what they had.

the deal is on a new 2006 (held over from last fall) yamaha roadstar midnight silverado, stickered at 13,500. they are willing to give me a total of 2500 off that bike and give me 400 over what i owe on the kawi (i figured i'd be upside down on the loan). with tax, i'm out the door for 11,100. people i talked to said that's a good deal, but i wanted to get some other opinions. this bike has about everything i was looking for: bigger engine, hard bags, bigger frame (i'm a hefty guy ) the only things that concern me are the fact that it's not liquid cooled like my vulcan, and it's not fuel injected.

do you think this is a good deal? any suggestions? thanks!
