Two weeks ago I traded a '96 1200 Custom w/25K miles for an '07 Street Glide. No regrets.

How many times will you have the opportunity to get a new Harley Bagger - Go For It!!

I'm pretty sure about it, but I've heard there have been problems with the 6-speed tranny. My OM has an 06 Classic, which I've ridden once, so I know they don't feel nearly as heavy when they're rolling as when they're standing still. My other consideration is the clutch action. I have a bad wrist and his clutch is too heavy for me, but I think the 07s are lighter, or I could get a Power Clutch put on like on my Sporty. Anyone have problems with the tranny or anything?

The RK Classic is a great bike, the looks are stylish.

I went with the standard Road King because I like the hard bags and ease of maintenance.

RK is a great ride!

I did the same trade up last year and it was a great move!

Where in FL are you ? I'm in the Tampa area myself and the weather couldn't be better for riding lately!

Come.....Join Us..........Don't be Afraid......................

Wish I could get my wife away from a Sportster and onto a Bagger, but she's too small (5'00"). Will try a Fat Boy or Deluxe.

Well, I didn't need much convincing, but I came to the right place! I'll probably pick it up Wednesday. White Gold Pearl w/Deep Cobalt. It's a stunner!

Hey Bikerchick are you in the Tampa Bay area? There is a lady that rides a bike looks just like yours in the local H.O.G. chapter.
