I have an 08 and love it. Took it to Sturgis last year from N Cal. on a 10 day trip. Worked out fine. Very comfortable seat and handles real nice. This is a bike I have ridden 660 miles in one day and could have gone more. As others have said that 21" front wheel can sometimes keep you on your toes. All around big thumbs up from me.

I’ve got a Standard, close enough. The only issue I have with my Standard is that it’s so fun to ride I might wear out the motor before I’m done customizing it. Hauled azz to Sturgis this year from Oregon. Handles great fully loaded down at 80 mph. It’s also nice that I can strip off the windshield and luggage rank in 3min.

Great bike. I'm 6' 250 lbs. Got a small bobtail fender bag for Christmas to carry a few things in when necessary. Snaps on and off real quick.

I really love mine, there isn't anything else I would rather have. I also had the rear wheel chromed, worth the money.
