Need more info - options on each car, mileage, what type of motorcycle.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

If you sold your C5 and your bike, would you be in the market for a 05 C6 with 102K on the clock? If yes, then do the deal. If no, then you have your answer.
I wouldn't do the deal just because it's there.

Value-wise probably close to a wash . . . performance is irrelevant.
If its an easy way to get rid of a bike you don't use and gets you into a clean C6-- sure- if its in good shape, no codes and doesn't need tires.

I'd stay away from the trade. You can always sell your Vette and the bike, take that money and buy a C6 if that's what you want. There are plenty out there for sale with lower mileage, and actually some really good deals. You might end up with a nice Vette and a handful of cash for modifications.

The C6 ZR-s is also more stable over 200 MPH.
As I said the 345 HP C-5 ain't faster.
