I couple of weeks ago I rented a 2007 Electra Glide Classic. I have a 2001 Goldwing that I bought new (60,000 mile now) and will be buying a new bike soon. My thoughts on the Harley: It was a very fun bike to ride, easy handling and it had soul. The Goldwing will run circles around it as far as power is concerned. On the interstate I could not believe how fantastic the Harley was, NO BUFFETING even at 80. The Goldwing will beat you to death and wear you out. I am 6'7" and weigh 300 and the Harley has much more room especially for the legs. On the Goldwing I can only move my legs about 2 inches before I hit the fairing. The Harley was hotter and made more noise (gear whine) but I know that some of that has been addressed on the 2008 or with aftermarket parts. Looks like a 2008 Ultra Classic will be in my future.

I have a 07 wing trike, that's the "our" bike as the wife feels more secure with both of us on it, however I too just bought a 07 FHTCU.....love it.

I've owned 20 HD's and this one make 21.....nothing like them. Yes the wing will out run all but the V-rod....smooth, quite, bullet proof, but and a big BUT....it doesn't move me like that big old v-twin....yeah they're a little hot, yeah the shake rattle and roll.....but that's what makes them special....

Congrats on the future UC, had three and they are Great....

 

Zapp's,
Don't do it.......You will lose the ability to attend the "Wingdinger's Convention" It's not worth it.. Just Jokin Welcome aboard. There are lot's of people here that can give you great advice......Good Luck with your decision.....
