yea, HUGE improvements over the years with the HD's, I went from a 98, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009 & each time a BIG improvement. The last two years with the 6spd & extra power was nice, the new frame was a LOT better, just felt more solid when the road was less then perfectly smooth & handled a lot better as well.
We use to trade them in at F&S for $43.00..... can't get that deal any more so I sold the bike. I miss the radio/CD plater/sat, windscreen & cruise. But don't miss the 950 lbs, lack of power & also the lack of power
Did I mention it was slow
