I'm looking at upgrading from a 2000MM to an 06 Midnight.Can anyone tell me if there are anythings to be aware of on the 06 models if there are any problems?? Is the difference in the bikes just the engine size? Thanks 2000 Roadie   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #267950 Craig (User) Beware of stupid people in large groups! Senior Boarder Posts: 251 Re:2006 advice? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I love my 2006 Roady. I have had no problems with mine. There was / is a transmission recall. You might have a dealer check your VIN to see if it has been done.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #267970 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:2006 advice? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   No problems with he 06. The 06 has better brakes than the 00. In 06 they changed the valves to supposedly help prevent SVS.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #268052 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7911 Re:2006 advice? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   '06 here, Love it. Charging system is stonger,and no tranny recall on the 06. and what Musky said.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #268142 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3801 Re:2006 advice? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   An issue I see is the economy in selling a bike, unless ya give it away. an if for trade in at dealer, if they are not selling, I wouldn't be surprised if they low ball on value. I just spoke to my dealer yesterday, sales are down 80%, and keep in mind, we are an all yr riding state. And for the few differences between the bikes, you can always do an up grade to charge system, you can even do a up grade to the brakes, even better to what comes on the 06 models. Think from one of the Yamaha sport bikes (think it is the R1, certain yrs) is a direct swap to 4 or 6 piston front brake. and you can also swap out the front pulley as well. see, I just saved ya 5k. lol Now you can buy that 1k digital camera so you can take great pics of the 1 month vacation on the road. lol   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #268183 Goodygood (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 401 Re:2006 advice? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I have a 2006 1700 Road Star and love it! I do not believe the recall applied to 06 1700 models but others will chime if I am wrong. I see I just repeated earlier post on the recall.................   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/03/26 10:39 By Goodygood.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #268205 MikelJay (User) Living in the land of confusion....

You get a slightly larger engine, better brakes, and 6 years less age??? It would have to be more for me to make the move, but you are the one with the finger on the trigger.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #268241 1700cc (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 434 Re:2006 advice? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   I swear my '06 was made just for me! I have had zero problems, and it just seems to run better and better all the time. They're gonna have to bury my bike and me together when I go!   Logged     2006 Midnight Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #268244 2000roadie (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 78 Re:2006 advice? 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Still up in the air about the purchase,going to look at it tomorrow.It's a chance to get a killer deal on a bike that is 6 years newer..an 06 Midnight with 3500 miles and pretty well decked out for well under 6K....just might do it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
