I kinda like the big right angle breather on the Springer, as standard.  I am thinking that the ABS set up is prolly HUGE because they are not including it on the nakid bikes.

At first glance the Ultra & SE Ultra are not much different from appearences. At least w/ the leather TP you knew it was a SE even if you didn't like the looks.

I'm safe! No Black SERK's anymore!. Even with the 6 Gal Tanks and ABS. I'm safe!!! ;) Hoist! 8)


I just got a chance to look at all the new info.  Though thanks to a benevolent d00d and text messaging I heard about the ABS an hour or so ago.

That Buell that Chip nearly had a potty accident over looks really impressive on paper.  The 08 CVO paint shemes are (to me) kind of underwhelming again though. 

The pics often lie about how good they look in person.  But the red Ultra (as much as I like red ones) was pretty been-there-done-that plain and not even all that attractive.  The white Ultra is an even blander version of the red one.  The copper bike was the best looking of the bunch but even it is something of a rehash of a paint set they released to the public jsut a few months ago. 

Road Kings seem a bit better.  The blue one didn't do anything for me at all in the pictures.  The copper again isn't at all bad.  The black and silver isn't bad either.  Though I wish it seemed to "pop" a bit more.  A bit more punch in the line up would have been nice.

Not much new in accessories either.  The ABS interest that was supposed to show up on so many models was about as accurate as all the other wild ass guesses (now I'm going for the 09 Servicar).  ABS as an option is a step in the right direction though.  Having it standard on the SE Road King will mean we can at least see the package installed somewhere too.

Hope everyone else was less underwhelmed with the new offerings than I was.  Some nice stuff.  But nothing I got at all excited about (in the SE or the standard lines).  Seems like Harley is just marking time again another year.

To those that love the new ones and get something congratulations.  What each person likes is always the most important thing.  The red bike still floats my boat though.  Another year another reason not to be tempted  :2vrolijk_21: .

Saw that the leather pack was dumped.  At least guys will have a bit more room and color again.  With the paint schemes being generally stock-ish in appearance it does make them harder to distinguish from the standard model lines though.  There have been standard line models in years prior with every bit as much flash as the red and white current year CVO bikes seem to have in their photos.

Chip, which won't you be able to live without?  The silver/black Road King or that little Buell rocket ship?

Except for curiosity about the ABS, not much new.

That tour pack, from the side, does not go with the overall stripe paint scheme.  Its bland.


Not sure if that is gold leaf in that gold stripe on the copper/black bike.  Weird looking color combo. Must look better in person.

Rocker from first glance appears to be disappointing, from what I had heard it was supposed to be.  Deuce with a jump seat?
