How many more 06 vs 07 threads need to be started?
Funny how some need to justify keeping their 06 (and why would you want to change to a new bike when it's only a year old anyway?)
I guess next year it will be "Man, I'm sure happy I kept my 07, cuz the 08's suck.

Must be those majical t-rex's, LOL, Wow to think harley went to all that expence to make a bigger motor run slower than a littler motor, Id say since the only sert program for a 07 is a EPA approved one, and all to come will be too, that he could probly have done better if it was left stock, Im sure a properely tuned 96" will clean a 88"s plow any day when equiped the same, bask in your glory it will be short lived

When my bike was stock, it would walk all over my buddies 06 stock road glide. Now that I did stage one my bike should be real close to at TC 88 with a 95" and mild cams. Everyone that has riden my 07 thinks it is much more powerfull then their 06 TC88. I have had none of the issues with the loud Tranny or the hot motor. Bike is like a dream compared to my 06 Road Glide I sold to get the 07. I have had both and the 96" er is a vast improvment of the TC88 IMHO.

Well put. How can you argue with this guy? Not only faster but that nice 6 speed to boot!

My new Motorcycle World has an article about the '07's where the author did some test riding of a few models during the summer dealer's meetings. His comments were very positive, including a nod to the additional power. Maybe the 96-inch motors have more power when they are completely stock but are easily beat with a free-breathing 88-incher. I'm also quite certain that, with the new SE mufflers being street legal in all 50 states, they probably won't add as much power as the after market units on a pre '07 model.
