Bought this 2 1/2 months ago. Saved a lot of $$ over new. 09 HD ultra classic 681 mi's am-fm,cd,cb,weather band, cruise. It now has 2750 mi's. I wouldn't call it fast but a real nice highway bike. It gets around 50 mpg. Work is 22 mi's each way. My truck uses $50-$60 gas a wk. The bike uses $18-$20. Rode the same Honda for 15 yr's. It was time for an upgrade.

I was wondering about you the other day my friend. So is it all you expected?

I don't regret buying it at all and the gas mileage is great. It's nice because it already has everything on it. Big Grin

Cool glad you are enjoying it. Just Got back from Myrtle Beach with mine. We had five down there for a week. As they say on tv keep the rubber side down.

I have been riding my Electra Glide for six years now and have loved all 88k miles of it! Maybe it's time for a new one for me too! Nice bike!
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. James 3:17 (KJV)

Congrats on the "upgrade" Smile That there is the Cadillac of all 2 wheels. I'm still in the bobber stage and ride with the aggressive posture. My seat pans all have 0 cushion and got either z, drag or clubman bars Big Grin I would love to roll on one of those, but I'd be affraid of falling asleep LOL! It's like bar stool or lay-z boy? Big Grin The seat is just too damn comfortable! Again congrats and nice ride!

Nice looking bike! I still have my motorcycle license, but haven't been on a bike since about 1990. Maybe one of these days........
