I noticed that too the first time I rode my 2011 Bones home. The motor is butter smooth! I love it on the highway! Hard to believe it's a solid mounted engine.

It's so smooth I traded my 2009 Street Glide for a 2010 Heritage. The only other bike I would consider to be smooth was my 2005 V-Rod.

Try riding an '83 Ironhead Sportster for 25 years and then get an '07 Fatboy! Smooth can't even describe the difference.

I know what you mean tracker, I had a 79 Sportster and she shock parts loose every time I rode. Had to tighten everything down daily...
