Go for it. I have a new DuraCell #199 and the bike is much much better than my 07 Jester. Ride is quite a bit smoother, engine is quieter, torque and / or throttle response is “right now” and the bike appears to be more powerful. The engine does not lug below 2000 rpm, in fact it felt very responsive and smooth at 1800 rpm in 6th gear.  The antilock brakes are superb!! I purposely tried them out and they are AWESOME!!! Seating position is very comfortable and the bike feels more nimble and responsive. Also, the cruise control is very responsive and appears to hold speed better. Tried everything on the bike and it all worked perfectly. After 10,000 miles on my Jester I thought that it couldn’t get much better, I was wrong!! This bike is better in ways you would not normally think of and it is a nice surprise.  Along with the 6 gallon tank, miles to empty, isolation drive, and the awesome paint job, this is the best HD I’ve ever had.

Three of us looked the bike over and could not find one defect in paint, fit or finish on the bike (very very very slight orange peal). The bike is perfect in every way and a pleasure to ride! At 60 MPH, I just wanted to crank it up faster and faster because it felt like I was going too slow for the riding conditions.

Those of you waiting for yours, it is well worth the wait.

Well I studied on it for a week or two and stepped off and bought the 08 Victory Vision. Having owned both Goldwings and HDs, I really like what Victory has got. Yes, I'll probably miss my 06 later, but right now I'm infatuated with the new bike.
Anyone want to buy an 06 Autumn Haze in Alabama?? $23,500 excellent condition
Please email me if you'd like more pictures in their original high resolution.
Thanks for looking!

congratulations!  You got your asking price!  Post some pics of the Victory.

Here's my new baby!

Don't do it!! Your 103 does not run hot, leak or have issues, so don't take the chance on the 110's!!

 You can buy a six speed tranny for yours and be just as nice!!

 You don't need a 6-gallon fuel tank, cause if you are riding with anyone else, if they don't have an 08, you have to   stop with them anyways, right!!

 That "drive by wire" has not been to great yet, I don't know from experience, but I have heard complaints on it!!

                                    Just my opinion!!

                                                                          Later
                                                                                    MIKE

I second this response to the letter. I will keep my Smurf and love it, but would not give up that 103 and the 6 speed is over rated. BTW, does your 5 speed tranny rattle and whin in 5th gear?

Whoops............ a tad late I see........

Congratulations on the new ride!!

Another shot. I know the average HD (especially CVO rider) is gonna say "what the hell!"

[Hugh Janis]

I hope you like it.  To each his own.  Your Autumn Haze is one of the prettiest CVO's IMO.  I like the looks of the Victory without the bags better.  It reminds me of the alien from Independence Day with them.  I'll ride with you anytime.

Congrats on getting rid of your CVO Electra Glide.   If you can ride around on that and get the same (or more?) enjoyment as you did from your CVO, more power to ya.  That is the oddest-looking thing on two wheels.

[Midnight Rider]

Congratulations on the sale of the SEUC and the aquisition of the new ride.  The Victory is not a cup of tea for me, but if it is what you like, it doesn't make any difference what anyone else thinks.  You are on two wheels, and having a good time...that is all that matters.  Enjoy the new bike!!

[RedDevil]

Congrats on the new spaceship bike.  Doesn't exactly spin my prop, but hey, if that's what you like, that's what you like.  I'll still ride with ya any day. 
Cheers ,

Too funny.  That precise impression has come up here before:  http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=15401.msg244511#msg244511

[Hugh Janis]

That's funny!  I remember that thread now!  It must have been a suppressed memory that resurfaced with the posted pic.

Sorry Excelboy10, I don't want it to seem like I'm making fun of your new bike in your thread.  I'd actually like to see one in person and ride with you too!  It'll certainly get a lot of conversations going when you stop.....
