Default Any recent '06 buyer's kicking themselves?

Picked up a new Springer Classic in late April, love the bike dearly but with the new features on the '07's I wonder if I shoulda held out (ya, like I coulda waited )

Any recent buyers feeling any remorse??

Not me. I got all the changes for the '07's in the '06 dyna engine except for the displacement increase. I didn't get a Harley to win races so the '06 is just fine.

Yup, got a KICK ME sign on my back. Bought a Super Glide in April. Put a down payment on a new 07 EG Standard two weeks ago. Trying like crazy to sell the Dyna quick.

If ya got buyers remorse that bad maybe you just didn't get what you wanted in the first place. I got what I wanted and won't be buying a new bike every year just cause the MOCO comes out with something a little "better" or a shiny new paint color.

Even though there are some great improvements for '07, I'm glad I got my '06 Heritage Std since they don't offer it in '07. Even if I could trade in and not lose any money, I don't think I would. Call me fat & happy

If (God forbid) anything should happen to my scoot, I guess I could get by w/ the new Fatboy, though.

Not really...would have liked the 6 speed...but other then that I think the new engine may need some working in before I would be ready to buy.
The only thing I'm kicking myself over is not buying a carbed one then I would have a collectors item

I made out well...I went from a 650 to a 1450....I'm still a happy camper
