The '08's were designed completely different than any other year in Honda Davidsonhistory.They threw away the mold after making the '08's. Every year pales in comparison to the '08's. They are more quiet and faster than the Goldwings. Honda Davidson took bits and pieces from the Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead and came up with the D!ckhead for the new bikes............run out and get one. Maybe you and your friend should consider Metrics? Better yet, go buy a pre-07 bike, I hear they are worth THOUSANDS $$$$ more than even the new '08's MSRP......

Why don't you go ride one, then decide?
Hey elrod, any time you have a question just address it to ULTRAKLASSDIC, because he must be GOD.
