WOW! I was really impressed. The 103 even choked with stock components was really peppy IMHO compared to my crammed 96.
I am not in position to trade/upgrade now plus they wouldn't give me **** for my 07 with 83000 miles so I will keep it and ride the **** out of it.

I am sure it is better than the 11 limited I used to own and if that is the case you will love a new 14's.

Yeah, the new bikes are getting better each year and trying to trade up is tough. I tried 3 times last year but I gave up.

I am planning a 107 kit in a few years...I have invested about $3000 in my current ride to make it my own and I love it

I`m not all that impressed with the new rides. I rode a new Heritage and a Street Glide Special at the demo rides yesterday. The SGS had some power but wasn`t much more on comfort than my sig bike. The Heritage lacked power, although it was a very comfortable ride. But, for what they`re asking there is no way I would give up my ride in trade. `Gonna keep it and wear it out.

I rode a 13 Limited and loved that. I can't justify buying new bikes anymore with these prices. My 13 Super Glide Custom was the 4th new Harley I have bought and I think I will wait a couple of years and buy a used 2014 Limited or an Ultra. Besides, I think I owe more on my Super Glide than I could get for it right now anyways.
