Shodan01:
Personally I think it ROCKS ! !

The bikes look BEST in person of course....Paint this year is fairly subtle with the exception of GOLD, which might be next.......

DHTDHT:
There has never been any official Harley statement, or even a hint from Harley that the Springer will be discontinued.  The company did not include the classic springer in their '07 line-up, but did include it in the CVO line — simple as that.  All else is pure speculation.

As to the springer front end not handling well, I have to disagree.  Other than the '89 and '07 Springers that I currently own, I ride a Ducati 900FE, and frequently borrow my wife's Ducati Monster 750. My last Harley was a Dyna. I also ride dirtbikes, primarily Honda. What I am saying, is that I am no stranger to the telescopic fork or to performance style riding. The Springer front end handles quite nicely. I think it actually corners better than my '01 Dyna.  I guess everything is subjective, and based on how an individual feels the feedback from the bike and the road.

Now I could go on about the handling of the Electraglide...but once again, that would be highly subjective, and incidentally, would not be a positive review. As a result, I do not own an Electraglide, and likewise, the negative posters on the Springer don't seem to own that model either! ;)
