My 09 Runs really good and gets great MPG`s too.
It had a coolant leak from cylinder #4 head-gasket area so the dealer had to replaced the left bank head gasket and all 3 plugs on that side. The new 160-CI motors are very powerful and smooth. The sound effect bass speakers installed in the rear tour pack are very convincing too. It almost sounds like an H-D of the 2008 era. I think I really like the side curtain air bags and the front and rear impact bumpers. Sometimes the Reverse comes in handy on the steep hills when parking it.
Overall I would say it`s been a great bike so far....[&:] OH yeah. The new auto-landing/training wheels really help at those long red-lights.....[:@] And when your DRUNK TOO..[sm=bs.gif]
