I'm glad the MOCO is spending money on R&D. I think they absolutely have to keep improving the bikes or they will be driven from the market. However, the changes to the 09 bikes are not nearly enough to get me out of my (paid for) 07.
Same here, 'cept a Bagger Brace instead of a Ride Str8. A few notes if you are looking used:

'01?-'06 - 88 ci and 5 speeds, 5 gal tank
'07 - 96 and six, 5 gal tank
'08 - 6 gal tank
'09 - new frame, wide rear tire
'10 - no more whine in 5th

I switched from an '07 Road King Classic to an '09 Ultra Classic. The UC is noticeably heavier but rides much nicer than the RKC. I'm not sure if that is a fair comparison though.

This is a big improvement. I love the extra gallon. It makes trips so much better. It gives the freedom to hall @$$ when you want with the extra gas to spare.
