I am very happy with my bike, a 08 ROAD KING CLASSIC (FLHRC 08). I bought a few days before they published on the website of the new HD Touring 09. Since then I've heard everything. Is that the press exaggerates. Are there people who have led the 2 motorcycles 08 and 09?. Sounds like? Do note really is the new chassis or a trading strategy to sell more?. It's for both the difference as the press!.

 

ummmm what?

 

I do not speak English. I write from Spain and used the google translator. Sorry.
Do not you understand what I write?.

 

No brother. We dont understand. Your sentences are fragments.

 

The 2009 bikes do have a whole new frame. From what I've heard, the 09 is much more rigid than previous models and some say they can definately feel the difference on the road.

Hope that helps. I was eating Taco Bell while reading that so I understand you perfectly.

 

The two most significant differences I felt between the 08 and 09 was the 09 has better power from the change in sprocket gearing and the much better handling on rain groove highways.

Beary

 

The best answer is yes...they exaggerate to sell new bikes. Keep your 08 as it is a great bike, no need to trade up to an 09.

I actually like my 06 as much as the new 09s, so there ya go.

 

I read a review in an aussie mag (Heavy Duty) where they raved endlessly about how brilliant the 09 is, but then said at the end dont run out and trade your 08 because they were pretty damn good too.

Personally I rode the 08 at a demo day back in 2008 and thought it was nice but not that much better than my old 97 and decided to keep the old girl.

A year later I rode the 09. I got off the 09, walked over to the dealer and ordered one. Chalk and cheese to me.

 

I speak both English and Spanish and can't make what you are trying to say. En otras palabras, escribe tu pregunta en espanol y yo lo pongo en ingles por ti.

 

09 is a better bike , however u will loose alot of money trading for an 09 probably not worth it unless money isnt an issue for u.
