Since you've already got a great bike to ride, you might consider waiting for winter to roll around and then pick up an '07 SG at abetterprice. Bought my '07 SG in Dec '06, and the dealer kicked in a free $750 gift certificate. Then January '07 rolled around and the same dealer was giving out $1000 gift certificates to entice new buyers. Winter is the time to get the good deals.

Unless there ishard evidence thatimprovements will be made to the '08 models, take the plunge andgo for the '07 SG. You'll love it.

My 2 cents. Ride hard!

6-gallon tanks are being built for '08 at the York plant.

I have an '07 RG - love it!

My main problem is the pain in my face from the smile I can't wipe off.[sm=happybounce.gif]

Since you have a ride for the summer, and no need to make a leap. I would wait. My bike, like a lot of us, is paid for. So, if something comes out down the line that makes my b@lls tingle enough to sell my baby and probally have a payment. I ain't sellin'. But, I wont be paying for your bike, so the choice is up to you. Aug/Sept will be here soon enough. Take the summer and enjoy the ride you have. IMHO

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.
I agree with cbwat1. The bike you're riding is serviceable for the time being. If the 08 doesn't float your boat, there will be plenty of 07's running around at a discount. and dealers wnating to unload them to folks who have to have an 08

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.
Why? Buy a used SG with low mileage and let somebody else eat the depreciation. Use the savings to keep the RKC.
