Default Heritage Question.

I currently own a 06 1200c but tomorrow I am buying a 99 Heritage with only 7800 miles on it. Is there anything you can tell me about this bike. Thanks in advance

1340cc, rubber mounted (I believe), very comfortable on long rides. Bigger than the sporty ...

I have a 2000 Heritage, if you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them for you...

The Evolution motor on the Bike, has it been a good strong motor or has there been any problems I need to know about? I would hope will that low of miles that I should be ok.

Solid motor. Good bike. Had a 97 Heritage for over 40K miles with no problems.The counterbalancers offset the force of the piston crankshaft assembly from vibrating as much.

The Evolution motor is a great motor, pretty much bullet proof, just change the fluids regularly.
