Default Any body kicking themselves?????

Any body kicking themselves about buying an 06 with the news of the 07s just released? Not me!!!!! I got an 06 SG, and loving it.
I guess if that was the case, we'd be kicking ourselves every July!!!!!!!

6 Speed would have been nice. After I test ride one, I'll decide if I need to kick my self.

Who wouldn't like the new TC96 with the 6 speed Cruisedrive? How about the 110 CVO?[8D]

No.

I'm sure there will be a substatial price increase to go along with the new motor/trans.

My 06 still looks good to me.

Too early to tell. It will be interesting to see if any/all of the aftermarket products, particularly exhaust related, will work on these models.

No... will wait a few years to make sure all of the bugs are out of it, then I might have to add another to the collection

No regrets here.

By the time they get all the bugs out of the new engine and all the inflated prices go back to MSRP, we'll be ready for our next HD's.

Like Granny always used to say: "Be happy with you got and don't pine for what you don't".

Let's let the new buyers be the guinea pigs then we can swoop in and enjoy the spoils of all their headaches on our next bike purchases!

I have an 07' Ultra on order.. Should be in end of next week. I have a 06' FLHRCI now that I got last year not sure if to keep or not.

The price increase dealer told me was 2.5-3.0% what is that $500 or so? Damn 95in upgrade parts are more then that.
