I have been reading about the new UC wheel base , I just bought a 1996 UC in November and have been reading and looking at the new bikes and I know there are a lot of differences and a lot of things look the same. I was looking at the measurements of the to bikes [my 96 and a 2010] and looks like just a lot of hipe or mirrow tricks to me , the 2010 over all length is 98.6 and my 96 is 94.25 ,ok about 4" there but the wheel base on the 2010 is 63.5 and the 96 is 62.94 , like 1/2" my eyes can't tell that much but its like they just slid the tour pak back to make the bike longer
