I saw a bunch of 2011 Lo's. The only real difference is the electronics....and there is a digital tacometer. To low is a super comfortable bike....the handle bars would hve had to be rolled back if I bought it. I just knew that if I didn't get a Harley with tons of chrome....I'd regret it.

Yes, they are out. I don't know what kind of riding you do, but the lo can be a bad boy bike for showing off or a comfortable long distance bike (although I use my Ultra for that lol). I don't want to give an opinion on the rocker, mainly because I don't own one. But I have ridin one and I wouldn't head out for a 800 mile trip on it if I had to pick between the two.

They also have anti lock brakes, whereas the 2010's don't.

The bike is the start, but where do you wanna end. I think that is the question. IMO the rocker can be a killer, but it will cost serious $$$. The lo looks already great when it is stock.

Agreed lo if you want to ride longer and can be killer with bolt ons o and if theres another who wants to ride 2 up.The rocker if youll be cruzing on the weekend for less then 4 hours at a shot and if you want to go nuts its an awsome platform

Thanks for the input and thank you for breaking down the difference in the 10 and 11. The salesman forgot to mention those differences. He told me they were exactly the same.

I wont ride much at all, just on Sundays, my only day off. I am going to go with the Lo.

The 2011 also comes in flat white. One other thing, since they are almost the same, you can get a 2010 for MUCH cheaper if you look around. The dealers are looking to off them.
