I love the new wheels as well. What I really can't believe is how much different in ride and handling my 09 Ultra is to my 07 SG. Harley REALLY stepped it up...

Very impressed.

I'll go ride a 09 when the demo team comes around, but i'm more than happy with my 08. It's more bike than i thought i would ever own.

As far as the changes, not sure they are as great as the new owners make them out to be... heck, you better be happy after you spend +$20k on a scooter.... i know i was and still am about my 08.

The word is that the 2010 will be water cooled??? That sounds like a possibility with the changes they started with the 09. Widen it, change frame, move pipes...... next step, add radiator???

Time will tell.

The main thing, whether you own a 1998 model or a 2009 model, ride and have fun. Stay safe.

 

I really like my '08. But I do like the '09 Ultra because it's so phat! It's a fine looking bike, imho.

 

I'm still happy with my 08 but I know I will want something newer down the road.
Who knows what the latest and greatest will be in a few years.
Harley will come out with something I that I will think I can't live without.
Hey it's only money! Right?

 

You guys make it sound like 07s and 08s are old bikes. LOL

They are and H-D purposly makes it that way so everyone wants a new one. I like everything they did on the 09 touring bikes, they are much improved in my opinion the tire looks great the rear finder even better, They are solid as a rock at high speeds (only had the cvo roadglide up to about 92-93mph) If I was in the market no doubt the 09 would be well worth the extra money over the 08 in my mind but Im not in the market for a new ride.

 

Yes the gearing is lower on the 09.

 

Man you should try hangin around here on an old a$$ '04. LOL

 

Take a look. My "new" bike is an 03 and I love it.
