So, once the 2009's came out with all the improvements, I decided now was the time. At first, I was looking at the 2010 RGC, then considered the better $$$ deals to be had with a 2009 RG, but finally realized by the time I did a 103, etc, etc, etc, I'd have another 10 grand into it, so I might as well look for a used 2009 SERG, which I really liked the looks/performance/value of. I originally had my heart set of the silver, but the O/B eventually became my favourite.
I was planning on picking up a used 2009 SERG in the US (I'm Canadian, eh), but I found a decent deal from a good owner here in Canada (in Winnipeg, Manitoba- 1,300 miles away). So on March 30th this year, me and the GF flew up there and rode the 4 days back thru North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin (stopping at the HD museum, of course), then ferried it across Lake Michigan, through Michigan, to home.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the SERG, and find I like it more and more, as the miles rack up. Power wise, it feels about the same as the Warrior (which dyno'd at 80 hp/105 tq but only weighed 640 lbs wet), which is a little dissapointing, as I had higher expectations, since I was coming off a pretty quick bike. But, no complaints, since doing the x pipe and Fullsac map, she runs real smooth and cool. The handling is great- it hides it's weight well, and corners as good as I need.
I definitely like the way the HD shifts, and how smooth and solid it is on the highway, which is what I wanted. Of course, the storage, stereo, cruise, and ABS are also great bonuses.
Here is what's done to the bike so far : (oops, ran out of room again- continued in the next post)
