RE: new model year

I just never got around to getting one. I have had 3 street bikes and just didnt ever get even my temps. my goal is august so i should have plenty of time.

Welcome. BUT I should warn you, this site is addicting. I am on here ever night. love ready all the post and replying to them. This site is great. And a lot of good information.
Waiting for the '08 is a good idea. But it will be hard this summer watching all the bikes riding around and having to wait. In the meantime, if it is viable to you, rent a few bikes you are interested in, they wont be exactly the same as the '08 you want, but you may be able to nail down the model you want.

The '08 models will actually start shipping a week or so prior to the dealer show and will be available for purchase the day of the announcements at many dealers. I bought my '07 LowRider about 5 hours after the announcement on 7/14/06.

I bought my bike July 25 and there were already lots of 07's on the floor. They actually had Peace Officer and Firefighter editions on the Floor. But they were dealing on the the 2006 models.
