RE: I'll be dammed!
Other then the transmission issues I think most of the other minor problems come from the fact that the stealers do a crappy job at prepping as well.
Would I have bought an 06 over an 07 if I heard of all the problems/rumors ahead of time - Nope. Would of still took the gamble for the larger engine and 6 speed.
It's not just 07's. It's every year. Someone will always have problems with a new bike. Same holds true for cars.
Everyone is getting all pissy on here (including myself). I think it's time to move on.
For the amount we spend on these bikes if there is a problem with it and someone with another model year says "The 07's suck", well it's kind of a slap in the face and insulting.
Instead of insulting each other we should be helping each other.

Someone on here was raisin he!! the other day about how all of the '06 guys are crackin on the '07 model bikes. Well......I just flipped over to the 2nd page and there are like 5 threads about..." 07 problem" or "My 07 does this" or "My 07 does that" Dont bust us for talkin smack, unless we are talkin smack. Sounds like the 07 models do, in fact, SUCK! Yes, we told you they would, but you bought them anyway! I, for one understand that new products often do, SUCK! Dont take it so hard, they will eventually get all the bugs worked out of 'em. But seriously, a spade is a spade, and so far, the 07's are turds. It's not a personal attack. I am really surprised that for once, I made a good decision in keeping the '06. I do wish all of yall with '07 bikes the best of luck.....after all.....they are all Harleys....

I think some people got upset because you said their bike sucks. You said "we told you they would but you bought them anyway". Their bikes are Harley's and are far from sucking. I have an 07. You post did not upset me. I just posted here because all this bickering is silly to me (IMHO). I'm not offended wnogood, not in the least. I'm still happy with my 2007. I am sure your still happy with your 06. See ya on the street people.

RE: I'll be dammed!
I remember walking into a dealer in '80 or '81 and all of the bikes had a drip pan or shop rag under them. This dealer gave up their franchise about 6 months before the Evo. Every first model year vehicle I have had was full of problems. The last three trucks I've had have all been the last of the line and I haven't done anything but routine maintenance to any of them. It might take them five or six years but they can work the bugs out. But who wants to wait.
