Have an option to purchase this beauty with only 2100 miles on it and excellent appearance. My question is whether there is any known problem with this model. I've been told tire is 180 vs. newer models with 240's, tank is smaller, grips (already upgraded) were substandard allowing vibration to be transferred. Also that engine is higher compression, but not sure that's a bad thing. Appreciate your input.

Ive also considered purchasing one. I like the 05 Sreamin Eagle real well and thats what I would buy should I decide to. I have four other Harleys and like I need another one however I am leaning toward a sport bike.
I think youve hit most of the issues Ive heard about. I have been told that they do not corner as well as you would think.
Im actually thinking about a Buell 1125 liquid cooled. A dealer not far from me has two new ones and I could get one for about $7000 plus some rebate because theyre leaving us.
I dont think you would be disappointed with it.
