BUDDY ORDERED NEW STREET GLIDE
well me and my buddy have been contemplating trading in our sportys and gettin street glides. well, he did it. I kept my sporty for now, but his street glide is actually coming to the dealership monday. He purchased a deep cobalt blue street glide i think it was. He got the bike, rinehart true duals, SE stage 1 air cleaner, and the download. The owner at the dealership asked me why i wouldnt get one and i told him that my payments werent where i wanted them ($280 after trade in). He then looked up when he was getting an 08 vivid black street glide in and he said "come on, just buy it! I have one coming in Aug 24 but it has cruise. Its only a $250 option?" then i told yeah a $250 option i didnt want to purchased. He then told me if id buy it, he'll throw the cruise in for free. So im goin to debate it alittle while and possible get it. what do you guys think? Do you think ill miss my first bike (the sporty) or will the new street glide make up for it?

RE: BUDDY ORDERED NEW STREET GLIDE
Just sent my great looking Deluxe off to the dealers..swapped it in for a vivid black 08 just as you described.
It broke my heart...I thought about it for weeks; I have driven my wife crazy with catalogues and talking it through.
When the guy turned up with the van on friday, as I pulled the Deluxe from the garage even he said 'man that is a great looking bike'...I was gutted.
Two days have gone by and Im pretty much over it...just waiting for my new baby to arrive so I can ride and ride and ride...
I think it's like women, when you let one go there are always regrets until you are riding the new one!

Something about an 800lb air shock laden TC96 6-speed bagger between the legs that makes you forget about smaller things in life(pun intended)[8D]

You'll miss it. Your first Harley (any style/type) is always in your hart. I love my 07 Street Glide, but had to go buy my Deuce back!!
Now, there are two loves in my life.

You will definitely like the Street Glide...
...and the cruise, too! I think I would pay twice that for the cruise option if I had to.

RE: BUDDY ORDERED NEW STREET GLIDE
You will miss the throttle response of the sporty, but everything else on the SG will make you forget about the sporty very quickly. My buddy has had two sportsters (05/06) and now has a streetglide (07) and says he does not miss the sporty one bit. I think you will prefer the SG as you will be able to do so much more. I think you going to like the tunes and the bags so much you will always have to have them on future bikes....good luck and have fun.
