Did you get a very good price on the one you got? If so, good.

I got quite a bit off my '10 when I bought it, right as the 11s came were being released. We're talking plenty of money off the FatBoy, and the engines remained the same.

If not, you certainly are not the first, and neither are you the last, to be ripped at an HD dealer!

I'm sure they feel fine as the "Power Pack" includes ABS and security which isn't standard on the 2012's.

you know, if we'd just wait until next year to buy, then we'd get the latest and greatest.... but, I say NEVER buy - just wait! you don't know what you'll give up by buying the current year.

or, here's a foreign concept - JUST BE SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.

Think about all the guy's who bought an 06 and missed out on 96" and FI and 6 speed.

True... There's always something bigger & "better". That's what keeps us coming back for more. Cars, motorcycles etc. We have to jump in the game & commit @ some point, otherwise we'd be walking.

Or an '08 touring bike with the old frame style?

A salesman was telling me the same when I was looking at a upgraded 103" 2011 Street glide sitting next to one of the new 2012s.

the bigger the motor, the more heat they put off. that damn victory 106 was hotter than my goldwing riding down the road. I think this big engine contest is a joke.
88 is plenty big for me

Right, the 96" has the 88" jugs and the 103" stroke. So a cvo 103" is the same as a standard 103".
