Well I got her.. 2008 Roadie S 3 Years, 10 Months ago  
I went down there to the dealer and they had the 07 one all detailed out and ready to go for me.. I looked at a white 08' and decided for the 07 silver one.. Then I walked out back and saw it..They just got it in , it was Charcoal Silver w/Flames .. Just freakin bad to the bone.. I looked at the owner smiled and said sorry man but I want that one.. He said you sure its alot more than the 07 .. I was like well just give me a sweet deal on it I like it shes mine.. They went and changed all the paper work prepped it and off I went...
I rode 45 miles back home.. I have not ridden on the highway in about 20 years and im still getting used to a 700 lb bike compared to my 450 mx bike that I race on.. First thing I noticed is how smooth the motor is .. I just cruised along 65mph and would gun it up to 80 and back it down.. Super smooth rider.. The seat is a monkey butt giver.. Holy crap 45 min and I could barley get off the bike my tailbone was cracked I thought.. I really thought from racing and riding motocross I would have no problem but then again you stand about 70% of the time in mx.. Here your just sitting down laying back cruising..

I gotta say this bike is just sweet.. The S model has some chrome ect parts on it I think thats it but I liked it and there will be no reason to upgrade for many many years.. A seat is coming very soon, and maybe a VH pipe (longshot) I cant even hear the bike at all but its not a big deal.. Thanks to all for there info here this place is awesome.. Here are a few pictures I will get some from outside but its 106* out right now and im bakin..

The seat is just the first thing. I seem to stay about $1000 or so from being done at any given time. Lots of goodies

Hey factoryphoto,

First, nice bike. Dig that color.

Second, We're neighbors. I live in Natomas and visit that dealer frequently. Maybe we could hook up sometime so I can see that new scoot up close. I'd love to hear how the FI compares.

Blkcherrybomb hey for sure.. Bike is real smooth but I cant compare it to anything so you would have to take it for a spin to see.. My cousin and myself will probably go ride this weekend somewhere down there.. I live in Yuba City but always in the Roseville area.. I go to that shop often getting parts for my dirt bike.. Let me know maybe see you this weekend.
