I've been looking into getting a RG and getting rid of my Dyna. I know I'll miss the WG a little but everyone tells me the RG is great and I'll only miss my Dyna for about 20 miles. Anyway, I could probably sell my Dyna and buy an 04-05 RG with 15-40K for $12-14,500 and not have to make any payments. My question is if the 07-08's with the 96" and 6 speed are worth making payments for 2-3 years or not. I would have to finance $4-8,000 depending on what I decide.

 

go for it!its worth the money if you can swing it. i moved up to an ultra and i wont ever ride anythig but a bagger

 

I didn't I had the same optoins, to buy my 2002 or to get a brabd new 2007? I went with the 2002, with the money I saved I could do the motor the right way, plus with some luck you get a bike that already has stage 1 or more done already.

 

I struggled with buying an 08. I had an 04 Road Glide thatran well and was dependable. I decided to take the plunge, I feel the upgrades were worth the price. I only have about 700 miles on the 08 Road Glide but have been more than satisfied with it.

 

I had also thought about getting something like around $12,000 and just doing the motor right awayto a 95" with a full stage 2, but I had heard that 6 speed is great and with the 96" the only upgrade really needed is the stage 1.

I think at this point I'm leaning towards the 07-08 to get the 96 and 6 speed.

 

I would go with the no payment plan myself. If I can't pay for it I won't buy it. Thats just me... I sold my 02 RG w/ 20k on itnot long ago for $12,000. In my opinion someone got a lot of Roadglide for their money. Perfect condition, 95in, PCIII, custom bars, Clearview windshield, sundowner seat, detach tourpack, V&H pipes, brand new Metzlers, blah,blah, blah. meticulously maintained to boot. The point is you can get a lot for your money. PS you will love the RoadGlide. I bought a StreetGlide and love it but I will own another RoadGlide someday soon. If you do miles it's the best. Good luck whatever you do. You'll sleep better without a payment book in your drawer.

 

I have riden an07 with the 110 and the 6 speed, I prefer my 95 highcomp with the 5 speed. Only time I would use 6th is when i am over 70mph and then I'm just looking to get another speeding ticket???

 

Take the plunge...you won't regret it. I did a similar upgrade three months ago (Dyna to Street Glide) and I love my new bike.

 

Dude! are you sure you want to pay payments on such an ugly motorcycle?

 

Go with the 08, its allwaysless exspensive in the long run... Good Luck!
