Default Something Old, Something New

And they're both blue. I found a pic of my old 2009 Heritage and was comparing it to my 2022. They're the same, but different, and both pull like a freight train. I will always regret selling that 2009.

very nice 👍. Really like the '09 paint scheme.
May I ask a quick favor? What's the outside length and height of the new Heritage saddle bags? I know they are smaller inside relative to the old style, but wondering about the outside. Thanks and enjoy the new scoot.

I measured 13" tall and 22" long at the the longest spot.

Interesting. I like the color CHOICES of the old ones better. Not sure which year was which...but there are some cool blues.

Personally I like the style of the new ones except for the silly "chiclet" trim everywhere. I just purchased a 2019 in Kinetic Green. Previous owner already swapped the tank bib and I plan on re-doing the seat (long story). So just the saddlebags left to modify. Lots of haters out there for the green color but I like to be different. Nothing else in 2018+ spoke to me. I was not wild about the black and chrome mix but I have learned to accept it. I could not justify the expense of a 2022 in blue and all-chrome and I didn't like the colors of the recent all-chrome 107s. Although the 2022 blue/black is cool!! Not a fan of the new black wagon wheels though. They should be chrome too like the old CVOs

Perhaps just me, but I feel the 2017 and older Heritage bikes are "heavy" My wife had the same thoughts as she was test riding for her purchase last year. She ultimately chose a 2021 Heritage. Yes, now our goals are to add parts to make each others bikes different. I can see the "twins" jokes coming already from our friends LOL
