That's the problem with waiting, for the past three years we have seen BIG changes

2007 was a big change year

2008 inproved and continued with some more changes

Now 2009 have seen radical changes

2010 will.............................

 

Ouch!! This one hurt!

 

Thanks for the advice. My bike is a top notch cream puff I bought new but I have put 38k miles on it. Stealer only want to give me 7800 and Kelley Blue Book was 8800.

Just saw a posting for a guy in Fl that traded a 03 Ultra and the dealer gave him 12.5 which is 2000 over the 10.5 in KBB. He purchased an 09 RoadGlid and only had to give 9k difference.

I might need a trip to Fl.

 

Lotta nice changes. I'll wait for the 100+ RWHP watercooled version though and then give em a year to sort it out. Till then riding my 08 FLHTCU and loving it.

 

I run my 07 about the exact same as you do your 09 w/o problem. Together the wife and I about equal the weight you mentioned.

 

Dealer uses NADA, not Kelly. He was about right.

 

hope you enjoy riding that 'vintage' bike.

 

Thanks and you are right. He was right on that book.

 

I am looking to buy an 09 SG and a local dealer would give me 13,500 on a 06 heritage classic. Trade in only says 10,700. But i think i can get 14,000.

 

...if 2010 will have the water cooled, you may just as well wait for 2011 or 2012. I think a water cooled engines will be the most "radical" change of the decade compared to the '09 frame change. I can only imagine the first year release of a "water cooled" will probably have more issues--if the MoCo does indeed releases a WC engine which it could or could not...

As for me, I have to "pull" the trigger on the '09 now--and just hope and pray that any '09 issues will be minor at best...
