Except for the front end and a few bolt on parts they are the same bike.

08 is faster due to lesser drag caused by the IDS...
Yep. I installed the IDS in my '07 and it was much quicker. Mine's black too soit must be one of the quickest '07s around.

07 is faster..its already gone and 08 is still in the first quarter


oh you're comparing motorsickles ....

then black is fastest ..ain't you ever watched Cops [8D]

no thats not a fitting response either... hmmmm,

Well,if two motorcycles were leaving at the same time on the same day,but one was in NY
and the other was in LA,and the one in NY was an OCC build and the one in LA
was a Victory restyled by the Ness himself ,which one would garner
the most awards along the way ??? Oh, and the OCC build is being ridden by B Obama
and the Victory Ness is being ridden by H Clinton.
Please don't let your political views come into play on this.

If you're gonna ask a question,make it one that really matters !!!

If you can ride them both at the same time the faster one will get there first. This will usually be the black one.

My dealer promised me that the blue and white Ultra on the floor (a stock 96") wouold HONESTLY put 99 HP at the wheel and top 145 mph in 6th at 4,000 RPM.

Now that is what I am gonna but...and add some cool foxtails to the antennas (wind tunnel tested tails, of course!)
