Hi Pops, I have been riding Harleys for a long time and I bought me a 2002 Heritage Classic a year ago and I can honestly say I could not be more pleased. It is a beautiful scoot with plenty of power, at least for me. I am more a cruiser and I like this bike. My wife and I can jump on it and cruise in relative comfort. It does have a little vibration to it but it is 10 yrs old. What do I expect. I have the highway bars, windshield,saddlebag and chromed out to the max. I use to say if someone had all this on a bike maybe they should just get a car but now I would not ride any other way. I love it and get great comments on it no matter where I go. It also not that hard to do minor repairs on it and fluid changes but watch those Torque screws!! I hate ´em. They will round off so easily but just be careful. Anyway good luck hunting!! That´s half the fun.
