Bought a new (2009, black) V7 Classic at the bike show in Toronto Jan.15. A retirement gift to self. Believe I got a good deal. Other bike I was drooling over was the Bonneville SE in blue/white. Bonny is prettier in my opion, but 50 pounds heavier and from what I read, needs a change of seat and exhaust. Worried about service for V7... dealer is 2hrs away. Come on Spring!!!!
