Default Selling/trading my 883R???

I have a 2002 883R with 16000 kms. I have never had a hitch with the bike but I am 6.1" and to be honest I do feel the bike is a little small for my frame and because of that I do get uncomfortable on longer rides. Power wise for what I am doing its fine.
I had it for sale on a local online site and a guy called and offered to trade me a 2008 C50 with approx 16000kms. The bike is nice with alot of extras.
Would I be foolish to consider this or is it better to go and sell the bike and get something bigger I was thinking of something along the lines of a 1100/1300 Vstar, 1300 Honda. This is my first Harley and to be honest while it is a very nice bike its no better then anything else and for me to go bigger in a Harley is way out of my budget. I am located in Nfld Canada and new and used bikes here go for a fair dollar. Pls lmk your thoughts. Thanx lexx
