Fwiw, I'm perfectly happy with mu 04. True, later ones have more power and an extra gear. All in all, so what. Mine moves more than fast enough for me, and purrs along just fine at 80+.
There are thing I like about the newer models, but not enough to justify the price.

Bro somebody needs to give you a dose of reality, dont trade to an HD from Metric unless your are better than average with working on bikes or your going to regret it. An ESP is wrought with so many pitfalls its almost not worth...almost. Do your walet a huge favor and stear clear of the brand, youd do better going with the voyager. Let the flaming begin......

Nothing wrong with the older bikes....Got mine with 36000 on it now it's turning over 58000 in 3 years. I've done some work to it, but that's half the fun.......been on cross country trips without a thought...Just take off and go......

I bought my 2001 EG classic with a bunch of miles on it, and it has 100k on it now. I rode it 2000 miles to Texas and back the last 3 years, and will do it again next year. If your budget allows, buy an 02 or newer bagger and ride it like you stole it. I do. The reason I recommend 02 or newer is they started Delphi fuel injection then. If you don't mind a carbureted bike, a late 90s or early 2000s bike with a twin cam will serve you well if you maintain it. Don't let all these sissies tell you you need a brand new bike with extended warranty to leave town.
