just spent $7,000 cash out-the-door for the 2005 bike yesterday including all chrome extra accessories and two helments. let me say one thing, people have their own preferences and there are different strokes for different folks, so someone will want a different manufacturer, or larger engine, or different paintjob, or whatever. I say listen, f*ck you. This is the way "I" like it f*cker. If you want a new bike that styling is of a traditional fonzie cruiser, but modern chopper styling with low seat/position and handlbars with an engine that sounds killer and quiet (I like quiet, I HATE these obnoxious *ssholes), that is light weight so even us under 200 pound (fat asses) can handle, this IS the bike for you. I´ve been looking for 15 years and finally decided on this and it is perfectly what I want. This is my first bike and is everything I need. If this is the type of bike you´re looking for (as described above), you won´t be disappointed.
