My new '08 USE3 is scheduled to be built Aug. 1st. I'm getting the anniversary one. Personally, I think the colors are totally awesome. Also, I wasn't a fan of the leather tour pac. The reason I traded was for the beautiful colors of this bike, the king tour pac, the 110 engine, and the 6 speed tranny. This is finally the bike I plan to keep. ABS braking has saved my butt more than once in other vehicles, and I can think of one bike accident I had where it would have saved me if I would have had it.
The only thing I hate to see is that the bikes are changing so much every year that it is destroying used bike values, and the planned obsolescence is painfully obvious.
On the new bikes it appears the tranny needs fixing and the bike runs too hot. I hope I'll be happy, but I realize it may cost me a few thousand extra to fix these problems. I would think the moco would be ashamed to produce expensive machines that need fixing before you can enjoy them. Also, I can't seem to get good service work from my dealer. My '06 USE still has a problem with the radio that was there when I traded. Unfortunately I live where I have no other choice for service. The service dept. just doesn't do a good job, and they act like they are sooo busy all the time.
Hopefully I'll enjoy my new bike. -Retail & Steve
