Default 09 Electra Glide Classic

Went to the dealer and asked him what he has coming in for 09's. He showed me his list. He had about 4 Ultra's coming in and only2 Classic's.So I reserved a Classic. Won't be in till August though.....EEEK Oh well. I had a 08 sporty and was looking to upgrade to a bigger bike. I had a offer from a kid from town. I sold it to him for what I paid for it new. Now the waiting game begins.

Was there any reason to get the 2009? Did the dealer have any idea how much the msrp hike is this year?

I got a 09 so I could save more money for a good down payment. I asked him about msrp and he said he won't know till the dealers meeting. He thought it would stay the same though.

What color and options are on it? Or does he know yet? I thought about waiting for a 09 but didn't want to wait all summer to ride, So I bought a 08.

You might want to add ABS, but I almost bet they are going to make it standard for the 09's anyway.

Everybody here has their opinion including me.. BUT... I tell you, ABS is a must, the first time you have a chance to ride onan empty, wet parking lot, and nail it,, all I can say is "WOW" very impressive,the control is just like they show it in the video. I will never ride with out it again. Even if it changes the delivery date ofm your bike it is worth waiting for.. Just my 2 cents worth ... Ride Safe.......Tim
