Well, I have been thinking about selling my 05 Classic and buying a Street Glide. I saw the Rootbeer color and absolutely loved it. Getting a few "add ons" but will finish the deal tomorrow.

It's a little different than traditional black or silver.

So, do you think I will notice that much of a ride quality difference ?

 

Yep, I did from my 06 King to an 09 Ultra

 

congrats...great color

 

I am really pumped about it..I know I won't be the only one out there with it, but I just look forward to riding it.

 

HUGE difference in ride - the 09 rides like a sport bike - you will NOT believe it.
BTW- I am serious. I could not be happier with my 09

 

What did you ride before getting yours ?

 

The general manager at the local dealership is a friend of mine. He had an '06 Street Glide and sold it getting an '09 Street Glide. He told me that he really didn't perceive any difference in the quality of the ride although he did love the 6-speed tranny.

 

Personally I like the 5 speed, but I look forward to that extra highway gear.

It would of been cheaper for me to paint the bike I have now rather than buy a Rootbeer Glide...but what fun is that I guess.

 

First, LTNC toyrider. Secondly, you'll notice a big difference. The new frame is sweet, I really like my 07, but noticed a fair amount of comfort/control difference between mine and the few 09's I rode at the shop (I'm still out on sick leave, so I've only been on 3 of the new baggers). Plus with the larger tank and rear tire, it just feels like a bigger, more solid bike..........jmho
