I went from the Sporty to the Deluxe too, I have done over 350 miles in a day twice on the Deluxe so far this spring, and 200-250 was a bout my max on the sportster, you will really enjoy this bike!
RE: NEW DELUXE! I have a question.....
Good luck with the Deluxe its a winner. When i first seen a deluxe picture back in 04 i knew at firts site i was going to own one. I like old cars and also bikes so this was a perfect fit for me. Harly trys to make a bike for all. and it seems like they are doing a pretty good job. Enjoy now you will be broke once you start to add mods

I have an '07 and also fell in love at first sight. The nostalgic look seems timeless. As the others have said, yep...it's a normal sound just like the gear noise in 5th --- 5th gear is straight cut --- and is amplified towards your ears if you add a windshield, and let us not forget that satisfying, determinedsound when we downshift! It is all good! To me these unique features just add to the whole package.I love my Deluxe.

You will enjoy it, up to the point you drag your floor board for the first time. You'll shake it off and then enjoy the ride even more. I wanted one when I saw my best friends dad pull up with one back in 93 or 94.
