Just returned from Daytona on mine running 75-90mph on I-10 all day long. Ran perfectly. 2600+ miles and did not burn a drop of oil or lose a lb. of air in either tire. I have not had any problems with this bike. If it has a fifth gear whine, I don't hear it. It loves to run.

25,000 miles on my 07 Ultra and it's great, only problems were very minor things that can happen to any year bike. I can't hear the 5th gear whine.

If the price is what you want to pay and you like the bike, go for it...

i have almost 15k on mine and i love it, i have had no issues. I rented an 08 out west and drove it for 2500 miles and besides the 6 gallon tank i really cound not tell any major differences. The six gallon is nice as long as everyone has one otherwise your stoping sooner for gas. jd

It's all good my man --

A few minor tweaks (just like every other HD) and these bikes are good to go for most folks.
