Currently riding a 06 Kawasaki 1600 Nomad
I enjoy taking trips, that is why i want the Ultra along with 100 other reasons
I am too young for a Goldwing and the Yamaha Venture and Vision are not my style
I agree TexasRedneck, I am ready I just wanted some input from the group

I pulled the trigger in May of 06. Bought an 06 Ultra, If I waited another month I could have had a 96/6 speed ........ I got perfect 20/20 hindsight. Sometimes getting in a hurry is not a good thing. IMO

Maybe wait for the 09s so you can get a little better deal on the 08???? I don't think you will see a lot of changes for the 09s. If you find the bike you want, grab it. Then spend your time riding and stay off this forum. This place will cost you big buckaroos...

Edit... oh yeah.... WELCOME![sm=icon_cheers.gif]

You should probably wait till the 09's come out so you can wait and see what 2010 brings. Then when 2010 comes out...


Now that's funny...........
If the EPA has anything to do with it, the 09's will be a Honda with an H-D badge and a $20K price tag hangin on it.

You guys crack me up
"shut up and buy the damn thing"

this is great, so when someone asks, "why did you buy that"
I can say "they made me do it"

Iam leaning towards the 08. I have a good price on it now and even if I wait, yes it may go down a little more but my trade will go down even more, so doing it now makes the most $$ sense.

A friend who never owned a Harley was waiting for the 2009 Harleys to come out before he bought one. He was so excited. Well he died on Sunday in his sleep. Get my point?....this is a true story.

Rest in peace Dale.
