I personally don't knowanything about them, but my local dealer had an open house today and they had a used one with only 3615 miles on it. I think the price was $15,995. Not sure what it had on it, but if'n I hadn't already paid for my SuperGllide, I'd be looking real hard at this.

Like said above, what cons?? There are no cons with a Harley!!!!! Welcome Aboard!! It's all about you when it comes to the choice of model, but I don't think you can go wrong with a standard.

RE: new purchase

I'll help you a little bit...the only con I can think of is it doesn't have a trunk or a radio. You can add the radio, and I think you can add a trunk too...

Not sure if you can lock the saddlebags either without some sort of modification.

Pros? Shoot, where to begin, the sharpest looking bike in its class IMHO, looks just say, "I'M A HOG!", comfortable, 88B motor, Harley culture, list goes on and on...
