Do you think that HD spent all that money on the 6 speed and the 96 to change it in 1 year? I have a 07 UC, no problems with the tranny. It runs great. Then only Harley that is water cooled I want to ride is my UC in the rain.

Just wait, there will soon be an entire horde of non-07 owners chiming in to "inform" you of all the problems the '07's suffer from. That and the fact that if/when you buy one you will be stricken with terminal Erectile dysfuntion and a bad case of syphagonerherpelAIDs[:'(]

It's always something....96", 6 speeds. What next? The Highway Partrol and local Cops in my area have had ABS brakes for more than a year. We do we get it? When HD wants to sell new bikes to us that are prefectly happy with the ones we have. Go figure.

Wait for the 08.
If the 08's have something new you like get one. If not you get the 07 at a discount. Either way it's win, win.

My 2007 Street Glide is two days old and I love it. I was going to wait but why? I wanted it now and they had my fav. color ( pearl black). Just like eveyone has said, who knows what the future may bring, right now is what that counts!

ORIGINAL: hdcopp

I am going to trade my 02 RKC for a Streetglide any reason I should wait for a 08.Besides March,April,May June and July.
I think the juries in on that one... get an '07 now, don't put it off any longer! My guessfor '08, pastel colors only, they're dropping black...it's too common
