I have an 07 EGStandard and have no issues so far. I have 11k on the bike and love it. 08s and 09s are nice. I hope they continue to produce better bikes each year. My opinion could change if some goes drastically wrong with it, but for now I am trouble free so far. I can't remember a year when there weren't some kind of issues with the bikes.

07 rkc with 103ci juggs, pistons, 258 cams, cobra speedster exhaust,
se breather and it runs great. It can hit 70 mph before before I hit 3rd
gear and there is no stinking way that I would trade it for any other bike
