Man, tough choices! I agree that in the long run with the potential to ever sell or trade the bike you would probably do best to opt for the new bike deal. If you were planning to seriously mod out the bike anyway, then maybe buying the bike back would be better and having the leftover cash to play with. Or if you think you will itch for something a little bigger someday soon, take the cash settlement and start shopping for it.
I'd say the new bike or the cash payoff are tied as the two best options - but that's really a subjective opinion on my part.
