That white SG would look sick with all the chrome blacked out.

Touring bikes for example have gone from highway 45 mpg in 07 to 54 mpg in 08 per specs.
Someone smarter than me please explain.

That's something I'd like to know myself. I've been struggling to get my '07's mileage up to 50 mpg and finally got there, so I wonder how they managed this feat? I suspect it is a change in the EPA's method for calculating mileage.

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't see anything very exciting about the entire 08 line up

It appears the black CVO Ultra Leather covered tour pak has become history.

Rob ....

looks like the cush drive the chain driven jap bikes have been running for decades... its a proven technology and pretty hard to screw up imho... if it make a difference then it'll be fine... but won't do anything to quiet off the tranny noise some have complained about...

Rear wheel hub on 1969 Norton 750 Commando is where the japs learned that trick.

Pretty stiff price increase over the past two years. Must want to get back above the metric bikes in terms of price and prestige factor...helps boost that used market a bit more again.

Well that's prolly cuz the dealers have to sell below MSRP now so if we raise MSRP some more they can discount $1500 off of that real easy, lol.

Many dealers are still sitting on quite a few 07s,why make the newer models stand out too much?

Now either they will go up in price because they are no longer being produced. Or they will go down to get rid of surplus. I am hoping for down so I can pick up one at a reasonable cost. But I am not holding my breath.
